Personally, I couldn't care less about the idiot. If you read his wiki page...
Kaepernick was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Heidi (Zabransky) Russo, a 19-year-old white woman who was single and destitute at the time. His birth father, an African American, left before he was born. Russo placed her son for adoption with Rick and Teresa Kaepernick, a white couple who had two children—son Kyle and daughter Devon—and were looking for a boy after having lost two other sons to heart defects. Kaepernick became the youngest of their three children.
... he's had every advantage someone who started life in his situation could ever hope for. This whole thing seems more a cry for attention than anything else seeing he was the toast of the NFL a few years back and now he's an also-ran. He certainly can't claim he ever had to fully experience it and he has as much claim to his race as I would had I been adopted by Chinese parents as an infant, which is to say nothing except in skin distinction only.
Besides, he's dumber than a bag of hammers. He can only do things that will make them look more stupid than they already do, if that's possible.
