On Monday, Donald Trump announced at a rally in Kentucky that teams won’t sign free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick because they fear “a nasty tweet from Donald Trump.” Now, Kaepernick is answering back with a sizable charitable donation to an organization under threat because of Trump’s proposed budget.

On Tuesday, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reported that Kaepernick is donating $50,000 to Meals on Wheels, which could face funding cuts should Trump’s budget pass Congress.

Thank you @Kaepernick7 for supporting seniors through your words and actions.https://t.co/2PBpeWh5lC — Meals on Wheels (@_MealsOnWheels) March 21, 2017

This month, Kaepernick also donated $50,000 to help alleviate the burgeoning crisis in Somalia where people are facing starvation. Kaepernick seems particularly concerned about the Somali crisis; he posted a video and joined other celebrities in securing a 60-ton plane to deliver food. Kaepernick also started a GoFundMe page to aide those starving in Somalia.

Trump took on Kaepernick during his campaign last season, suggesting that Kaepernick should move to another country if he continues his sitting during the pregame playing of the Star-Spangled Banner. Kaepernick was protesting police violence, discrimination and racism in communities of color. Since then, Kaepernick announced he planned to donate $1 million over the next year to charitable causes to advance basic needs and human rights.

Rather than focusing on the fallout from what Trump might tweet about him, NFL owners might want to consider the good Kaepernick is doing. It’s something his teammates have noticed. Kaepernick won the Len Eshmont Award last year, which is given to the team’s most inspirational and courageous 49er by vote of the players.

Kaepernick’s protest has also evolved. Rather than sitting for the anthem – a practice Kaepernick will suspend this season – Kaepernick is funneling efforts and his own money into action. Not only is he donating $1 million, Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights campaign supports educational efforts and promotes good nutrition in communities of color.

Owners should also consider that over 70 percent of their players come from communities of color. Signing Kaepernick would send a positive message to players that ownership is concerned about their communities.

Another consideration is how good an owner or general manager could look if they sign Kaepernick and he succeeds. Kaepernick threw 16 touchdown passes and only four interceptions last year playing behind an injured offensive line and throwing to the least talented receiving corps in the league. He also won road playoff games and has taken a team to the Super Bowl. Additionally, he is far healthier and stronger than he was a year ago when he was recovering from three off-season surgeries.

Not only that, a team could sign him to a relatively cheap contract.

The potential positives of signing Kaepernick far outweigh what the President might tweet about the team who signs him. But it will take a little courage and foresight from a team owner. It begs the question: Are there any out there with those qualities?
