Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem Thursday night. Afterward, he took more questions about why he did so. Then he took his fight for justice and equality in America to another level.
He did the latter in the form of a $1 million pledge to organizations (as yet unknown) he believes he can help. He said the money will come off the top of his 2016 salary. With Kaepernick guaranteed $11.9 million this season, that's about 8 percent..
He also escalated his ongoing dispute with San Francisco police by noting the department is dealing with racism in its internal communications.
