Torrey Smith: ‘[Colin Kaepernick] is a legend for that protest.’
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is set to hit the free agent market next week, after he officially opts out of his contract in the next few days. In timing that has not escaped many people’s notice, word leaked out on Thursday that Kaepernick will no longer kneel during the Anthem.
His current and potentially soon to be former teammate Torrey Smith has defended Kaepernick throughout the past seventh months, and on Thursday, he called him a legend for the protest.
Kap is a legend for that protest though...he pushed race and social issues to the front and inspired more folks to say and do something
