Bill:  I read the article in the link you provide. Nowhere in the article does Mr. Kaepernick say he hates America.  Here's the lead paragraph from the article" "SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has willingly immersed himself into controversy by refusing to stand for the playing of the national anthem in protest of what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities in the United States. "  As I and other posters have repeatedly stated, Mr. Kaepernick's motives are clear and have been from "day one" of his protest.  You continue to post that he states "he hates America."  That, sir, is simply not the truth.  Read all accounts.  Read the OpEd by Ed Reid. Educate yourself....and, please, don't continue to post untruths.  Gary Crum
