Colin Kaepernick on Sunday spoke out against what he described as “police brutality” while explaining his decision to remain seated for the national anthem.
But he also apparently made a divisive statement on Aug. 10 in San Francisco during an open practice at Kezar Stadium in front of thousands of fans.
Photos from Aug. 10 show Kaepernick was wearing socks with pigs dressed as police officers. It is not known whether he has worn the socks since that day.
The 49ers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
When asked Sunday if he was concerned his speaking out against the actions of some police officers could be seen as an indictment on all of law enforcement, Kaepernick did not back down.
