Kaepernick on Time Magazine Cover

Former Nevada football star Colin Kaepernick has made the latest cover of Time Magazine, because of his leading role in protesting racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem before football games and being outspoken in his criticism of police brutality. The Time cover story focuses on how the 49er’s quarterback started the debate about “Privilege, Pride and Patriotism,” as the cover puts it. Some Kaepernick critics have started to come around as they see the protest gaining popularity. While many disagree with protesting during the National Anthem and believe it’s disrespectful, they recognize racial injustice is still an issue in America.
