Colin Kaepernick is Watch When the Camellia Blooms Onlinestanding up to the National Football League.
The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, who ignited protests in the NFL, is accusing the league's owners of working together to keep him out of professional football.

That's where he first decided to take a seat during the national anthem. Kaepernick's protest began to gain attention when he started to kneel during the anthem—inspiring some other players as well.

“You cannot disrespect our country, our flag, our anthem, you cannot do that," Trump told Fox News's Sean Hannity last week.
Current and former football players instantly condemned Trump's comments. Jaguars owner Shad Khan, who donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration, chose to lock arms with his team:
