For the first time, here is the full story of the NFL player protests that rocked a nation and turned our country upside down. This is the players' side, one that has largely been ignored by the media. On September 1, 2016, Colin Kaepernick took a knee before a preseason game. Little did he, nor anyone else, know the ramifications from that decision. Since being exiled from the National Football League, Kaepernick has stood strong…
Colin Kaepernick, quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, is known more for his protests than his playing football. He began protesting by kneeling during the anthem to support black and brown people who were treated poorly by the police.
This book is well written and includes snippets of interviews with many others in and out of football. The legacy of the football activists will be remembered for a long time. This book will make sure that happens. If you are interested in civil rights, you should read this book.
