Drew Brees was critical of Colin Kaepernick's decision Friday to sit during the national anthem. Richard Sherman said Kaepernick could have picked a better platform to protest social injustices.
Kaepernick has drawn mixed reviews since he sat in protest during San Francisco's preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.
The 49ers quarterback explained himself Sunday and vowed to "continue to sit" during the anthem as a form of protest for what he says is the oppression "of black people and people of color."
While the New Orleans Saints quarterback and Seattle Seahawks cornerback both applauded Kaepernick's sentiment, neither agreed with his form of protest.
