Colin Kaepernick has reported receiving death threats since he began his national anthem protest. Now, someone in Buffalo is taking threats to another level: merchandising.

Sports Illustrated writer Robert Klemko found one vendor outside of Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday morning selling shirts that depict Kaepernick in a gun sight with the caption: "Wanted: notorious disgrace to America." Another shirt reads "Shut up and stand up!"

The vendor is not affiliated with the Bills organization.

Klemko also reported observing Bills fans tackling a dummy dressed in a Kaepernick jersey and afro wig while saying, "Tackle the Muslim."

Sunday marks Kaepernick's first start since beginning his anthem protest during the preseason. He arrived at the stadium today wearing a Muhammid Ali shirt, a gesture that needs no explanation.

"To me, if something like that were to happen, you've proved my point," Kaepernick said of the death threats he has received. "And it will be loud and clear for everyone why it happened. And that would move this movement forward at a greater speed than what it is even now.

"Granted, I don't want that to happen. But that's the (reality) of what can happen. And I knew there were other things that came along with this when I first stood up and spoke about it. So it's not something I haven't thought about."
