When the NFL and Fox recall greats from San Francisco’s past this weekend, one name will be largely erased
Nestled among this year’s silly
Super Bowl prop bets – such as whether or not
Jennifer Lopez will show butt cleavage during the halftime show – is a far more interesting one: will the Fox broadcast mention Colin Kaepernick’s name? Even once?
Kaepernick is relevant this year, and not just for his activities off the field. He was the 49ers quarterback the last time the team reached the Super Bowl, in 2013, and played a huge part in their success that season – it stands to reason he would be discussed when we look back at the team’s last title shot. But you’d be smart to emphatically place your money place on Kaepernick not getting a single mention on Sunday. After all, his name wasn’t uttered when 49ers running Raheem Mostert broke Kaepernick’s postseason rushing record during the NFC Championship game earlier this month, a game televised by Fox.
