It was was my first game I had ever completely watched. All I knew was that everyone in the house wanted the Dallas Cowboys. Throughout…

Colin Kaepernick is a name that has been heard a lot recently during the past football season, not because of his skills on the field, but because of his refusal to stand during the National Anthem. Although his reasoning behind the act was innocent, protesting against police brutality, he faced a lot of grief because of it.
