Colin Kaepernick first started kneeling during the national anthem in back in 2016 when he was with the San Francisco 49ers. The 32-year-old played as a quarterback for the 49ers from 2011 to 2016 but was axed after his silent protests against racial injustice in the country. However, over the past few months, a number of athletes in the MLB, MLS and NBA have opted to kneel during the Star-Spangled Banner, backing Kaepernick's initial gesture.
