Indeed, Mr. Kaepernick is currently w/o a job in the NFL.  It's often the case that taking a stand for something you believe in has a cost.  Mr. Kaepernick is paying for his decision and his actions.  I'm sure he knew it was possible that no team would be willing to deal with the "blow back" from some fans if they hired him.  He still acted on his principles.  I respect him for so doing.  Gary Crum
