Colin Kaepernick is still fighting β for justice and for his football career
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Fresh Airβs own podcast host.
“The NFL tried to send a very clear message that if you protest police killing Black folks, if you fight for a better society and better community, we’re going to try to take your career from you,” he tells Tonya Mosley. “I don’t accept that that is going to be the end outcome of this, and will do everything I can to make sure that I change that narrative.” Kaepernick has written a memoir called The Perilous Fight. It begins long before the anthem, with his experience as a Black boy adopted by white parents, learning to keep early experiences of racism to himself. He explains why, after all this time, he still wants to play in the NFL, and why he would keep his kids from playing the game.
