oct 8 2017 Quarterback Colin Kaepernick has told CBS that he would stand during the national anthem if given a chance to play football in the NFL again.

According to a report by Jason La Canfora on Sunday, Kaepernick has been living in New York and working out privately in New Jersey with the hope of signing with a team this season.

Kaepernick kneeled during the national anthem last season to bring more attention to the killings of black men by police officers and other social injustices. The protests spread this season after the former San Francisco 49ers starter opted out of his contract and was unable to sign on with another team.

Colin Kaepernick plans to stand for the national*anthem
MARCH 2, 2017

After starting a national dialogue by refusing to stand during the national anthem last year, Colin Kaepernick plans to stand for the anthem this year.

Kaepernick believes there has been positive change in America and doesn’t want to detract from that, so he’ll no longer kneel during “The Star-Spangled Banner” in 2017, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

But it hasn't been. Even hunger strikes end at a certain point. Pretty much every protest has ended at a certain point.

Kaep got the whole country talking. The fact that he doesn't want to give up his career forever is not really consequential. It just feeds a false narrative that you are in favor of.

Nothing has changed. Well NFL ratings are in the toilet but as to the rest, nada.

Are you actually hoping that nothing changes?

Is unequal treatment under the law a "win" for you guys?

These incidents get investigated, ch argues filed and in nearly all cases there was no wrongdoing. In cases where there was, justice was served.
Kap didn't like being wrong and threw a hissy. You could say he threw a hissy to try and get off the bench.
In any event, he is out of football because he is not very good at it. His best bet is to try and switch to defense but not much hope their either.
