After a contentious and draining election season, Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton and will become the new President of the United States. The election results have left everyone trying to figure out how in the world something like this could happen. Early discussions have centered on the lack of attention paid to white working class voters, the failings of the media at large, and a lack of voter participation.
It’s also been reported that close to 47 percent of eligible voters did not vote, one of whom was San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Kaepernick has arguably been the most important person in professional sports in 2016.
