Goodell said National Football League players have a responsibility to get their messages across the right way.
“I haven’t heard of anybody refusing to work because of Kaepernick”, Santa Clara (Calif.) police spokesman Lt. Dan Moreno told USA TODAY Sports in a phone interview on Wednesday.
He said he plans to continue his protest when the 49ers play the Going-Back-to-Cali Los Angeles Rams on Monday.
Kaepernick’s busy preseason has also boosted his jersey sales to an absurd level. “I want to make sure the people I’m talking to are comfortable with that before I address something like that”. It should be an interesting year for Colin Kaepernick and and the 49ers? You can’t show us something and then go to another just because of certain issues. In addition to meeting with Green Beret Nate Boyer and bringing him to a game, 49ers safety Eric Reid joined Kaepernick in his protest during the team’s final preseason outing.
And as a way to thank everyone who has purchased the jersey as a sign of support for his silent protest, Kaepernick announced Wednesday on his Instagram account that he will be donating all the proceeds from his jersey sales back into the communities which need it most. Kaepernick began last season as the starter but ended up on injured reserve because of a shoulder injury.
“I wasn’t expecting my jersey sales to jump to number one because of this, but it shows the people’s belief that we can achieve justice and equality for all”, he wrote. The surge is remarkable given that Kaepernick is beginning the season as a backup behind Blaine Gabbert.
“I gotta say I’m as disappointed to see President Obama stand with Kaepernick and say ‘that’s right, disrespect the flag, ‘” Cruz said to a TMZ reporter outside of Reagan National Airport. What is means, the liberty, the freedom and, most importantly, all those who have served and those who are serving and those who will serve who provide us with that freedom. I personally believe very strongly in that. “I hope that all resources and conversation and intellect across the country will be able to figure out a way to make that million dollars as powerful as it can be”.
