Many people (not saying you) don't like Kaepernick because he brings to the public eye something they don't want to see. Out of sight... out of mind. People will happily put on blinders to something that doesn't affect them personally, and resent it when someone interrupts their happy consciousness to talk about a problem that's real and must be addressed. That's why I have nothing against Kaepernick and hopes he does even better outside of football than he did in it.
