Colin Kaepernick encourages NFL anthem protesters to 'continue to fight'

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick encouraged players participating in protests during the national anthem to “continue to fight” just weeks before the start of the NFL season.

“My Brothers @E_Reid35 @KSTiLLS @iThinkIsee12 [Eric Reid, Kenny Stills, and Albert Wilson] continue to fight for the people, even in the face of death threats,” Kaepernick said Sunday on Twitter. “They have never moved past the people and continue to put their beliefs into action. Stay strong Brothers!!!”
