Kaepernick was able to draw attention to himself after his efforts to address the racial inequalities that go unnoticed in the NFL. After he decided to take a knee in protest during a game back in 2016, he became somewhat of a voice of the perception of racism in the NFL.

A fight for the right cause

Racism is a factor that Kaepernick has been dealing with throughout his life. Even when he was a teen, it exposed Kaepernick to various incidents that cited the deep-rooted evil that exists in society even today. Throughout the years, he has been putting in efforts to address and help people who are victims of the clutches of this evil. He founded the Know Your Rights Camp, which has been helping transform the lives of children across LA.

In this fight against a social construct such as racism, Colin Kaepernick stands out as the voice for hundreds of people who are supporting his cause from the back. Fans can be assured that as time passes by, his efforts to address this problem will continue to grow, despite the backlashes he receives now and then.
