Yes, the NFL made Colin Kaepernick a martyr

Colin Kaepernick and buddies protest

Colin Kaepernic is half black, half white, and his white mother doesn't approve of his kneeling for the National Anthem. He does it because of the oppression of black people and people of color, which has martyred him by NFL head Roger Goodell. Hank Aaron, who faced racial discrimination in 1974 chimed in to say he even received "death threats and hate mail," all because of the color of his skin. Kaepernick, one of the top quarterbacks in the league is still without a job, saying he did this after months of witnessing some of the civil unrest in the U.S. The last shoe hasn't fallen in this issue.
