It’s an Obama world.

San Francisco 49er’s quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the playing of the national anthem at a preseason game on Friday.

Kaepernick sat by the water and Gatorade coolers instead.

He said it was in protest of what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities in the United States.



Now black publication The Root is comparing Kaepernick’s stunt in support of the Black Lives Matter terror group to Jackie Robinson’s struggle for civil rights.

Wow.

Before #Kaepernick, Jackie Robinson said he could not sing the #StarSpangledBanner or salute the flag. –@KWestSavali https://t.co/rf0iVBY1FI — The Root (@TheRoot) August 30, 2016
