Colin Kaepernick Praises Dolphins Players for Protest
While he watches the NFL as an outsider, Colin Kaepernick is still raising his voice to support those who continue the protest that he started.
Kap took to Twitter on Thursday night to recognize the National Anthem protest of Miami Dolphin players Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson.
My brother @kstills continued his protest of systemic oppression tonight by taking a knee. Albert Wilson @iThinkIsee12 joined him in protest. Stay strong brothers!✊🏾

Stills and Wilson took a knee behind their team during the anthem and Robert Quinn held a closed fist in the air while the anthem was being sung.
President Trump took to Twitter on Friday morning to rage against the protests. He said that players protesting during the anthem should be suspended without pay.
How will the NFL ultimately handle the issue of players protesting? Will this once again be a major flashpoint for the league this season?
