Learn about the inspiring life and career of professional football
player and activist Colin Kaepernick in the new Who HQ Now format
featuring newsmakers and trending topics. On August 14, 2016, NFL
quarterback Colin Kaepernick began a protest when he refused to
stand for the national anthem. He wanted to make a statement about
the oppression of people of color in the United States after he had
spent a summer speaking out against police brutality. After playing
professional football for six seasons, that would become Colin
Kaepernick's last season in the NFL, but he would go on to become
one of the most prominent activists of today. Colin believed that
speaking out against racism was far bigger than football, and other
athletes agreed with him. Today, hundreds of athletes -- from high
schools to professional teams -- still kneel during the national
anthem to protest the treatment of people of color in America.
Discover more about Colin Kaepernick's story in this addition to
the New York Times bestselling series.
