Column: Hoping Kaepernick gets another chance to take a knee (Yahoo Sports)

No matter what happens when the final cuts are made, Colin Kaepernick already had the best preseason of anyone in the NFL. Or mentioning the San Francisco 49ers quarterback in the same breath with Tommie Smith and John Carlos, who were sent home in disgrace from the 1968 Mexico City Olympics for giving a black power salute on the medal stand. For the past week, we've debated - in coffee shops, at work, on talk radio shows, around the dinner table - the merits of Kaepernick's decision not to stand for the national anthem before games, his way of protesting the centuries-long short end of the stick that people of color have been getting in America, especially at the hands of the so-called justice system.
