NFL STAR, COLIN KAEPERNICK REFUSES TO STAND AS AMERICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM IS PLAYED IN PROTEST

NFL Star, Colin Kaepernick on Friday night sat through the American national anthem in a protest against a country he perceives oppresses minorities.
Colin maintains that even if sponsors took away his endorsements because of his action and conviction, he believes he has done the right thing.

Colin has got a lot of backlash from social media users who felt he had made a lot of money in a country which he claims oppresses the minorities.

NFL has however issued a statement on Colin's action stating,

"Players are encouraged but not required to stand during playing of National Anthem".
