NFL Super-star athelete and humanitarian Colin Kaepernick becomes a national figure after kneeling during the singing of the national anthem. Kap make clear that his protest is about police brutality and hate crimes targeted at black and minority people in America. Kap's courage to speak up continues to empower many, while infuriating others. Those in opposition of his protests interpret his right of freedom of expression to mean insolence against military veterans; not bearing in mind that the idea of kneeling came as a suggestion from military veteran, Nate Boyer. In the end, the National Footall League blackballed Kap by keeping him off its rosters. Today Kap continues to use his platform to speak out against police brutality, bring awareness and education to the youth by teaching them their rights and how to interact with law enforcement.
