August 26th, 2016. "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything." -kaepernick7 ⁠⁠ Though he had already chosen not to stand during the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner for several games, OTD five years ago Colin Kaepernick first spoke out against police violence against Black and Brown communities. "It is to protest the injustices that are happening in America, the oppression that is happening in America," Kaepernick told reporters for the first time after the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. We have been proud supporters of kaepernick7 since the first time we met him in 2011. Since then, we’ve committed to stand beside him as he advocates for the liberation of Black and Brown communities. #ImWithKap #KnowYourRights #SPFamily ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠
