Colin Kaepernick’s Protest Didn’t Change What You Think It Did

Ten years after Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback is back in the spotlight. Rich Lowry looks at Kaepernick’s NFL career, his national anthem protest, and why the media’s reassessment of his legacy leaves out important parts of the story. Was Colin Kaepernick pushed out of the NFL because of his activism — or did his declining performance matter, too? Rich examines Kaepernick’s views on policing and criminal justice, the aftermath of George Floyd, and the comparisons to Muhammad Ali, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King Jr. What do you think of Colin Kaepernick’s legacy ten years later?
