I’m going to start this by saying that I have a lot of respect for not only the protest Colin Kaepernick took last season by taking the knee during the anthem but also the actions he took to stand behind his protest against racial injustice in America.

He donated a lot of money and continuously organised his kids camps along with many other gestures.

However, it seems he has announced the kneeling protest is to end! He has given his reasons, with sources telling ESPN that he doesn’t want “his method of protest to detract from the positive change he believes has been created,”

The sources also say that his believes that news coverage on racism and support from fellow players and athletes affirmed his message.

However, after hearing the news, many are not sold on that reason. Many believe it’s simply because Kaep has also just announced he is now a free agent!

Of course a lot of people have a lot to say, just search #Keapernick on twitter and you’ll see, it’s quite heated!

As for me…. Maybe he should be cut a little slack, he for sure will continue his good work with the camps and donations. BUT maybe I am being too easy on him.

What are your thoughts?
