It’s difficult to know exactly how Kaepernick views his time in the
NFL wilderness. Nevertheless, it’s worth asking: after three years, what has he accomplished – and at what cost?
Over the last three years, Kenny Stills has not stuck to sports.
Instead, the Miami Dolphins receiver has kneeled during the national anthem before games to protest racial injustice. Taken an off-season road trip through the
American south to visit community activists and civil rights movement landmarks. Publicly called out his own boss, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, for the seeming incongruity of founding a nonprofit dedicated to racial equality – while also hosting a recent reelection fundraiser for US president Donald Trump.
