Kaepernick continues anthem protest; others join

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's protest of racial oppression and inequality in the United States is expected to continue before Monday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Kaepernick said earlier this week that he would continue to kneel during the national anthem and reaffirmed that plan to ESPN's Lindsay Czarniak on Monday night.

Asked about his reaction to the support he's been getting from players around the league, Kaepernick said, "It's just great, you can see everybody's paying attention."
