Some blamed Colin Kaepernick, the former 49ers quarterback who was the first player to controversially kneel during the national anthem, for causing many to boycott this NFL season altogether.

The entire NFL has experienced low ratings, but the 49ers and Rams have specifically been struggling with attendance this year as previously reported.
