didn't sound like it was an alternative way of showing respect:
βI am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,β Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game. βTo me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.β Colin Kaepernick
