5 years ago this month, August 2016, then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick changed the world basically by listening to football long snapper and Army soldier Nate Boyer about kneeling during the US national anthem instead of sitting down by protesting police brutality and racism.....Kaepernick and his ally Eric Reid knelt and a new wave of social activism never seen since the 1960s occured, growing worldwide....

What did the past few years reveal to you about society at large?

Then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who led his team to Super Bowl 47 in 2012, a biracial man who was adopted started a athlete conversation about using their social platform and privilege to speak about racial and social issues. Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem's display to protest police brutality and racism....

He has not been in the National Football League as a quarterback since December 2016 when he became a free agent, many people see him being blackballed from getting a job in 2017 and 2018, he has done activism work ever since.

Did the past few years expose to you who Jerry Jones, Boomer Esiason, etc. are, especially the way how they treated Kaepernick?
