Today is August 26, 2017 -- which marks exactly 1 year since Colin Kaepernick took a seat during the 3rd game of the NFL pre-season, and told the press he wasn't "going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color". The reactions afterwards have been well-documented. Please thank Kaepernick for taking a major step calling for change, while potentially sacrificing his NFL career in the process, and inspiring many all over the world. His twitter/instagram social media is @Kaepernick7. Facebook is "Colin Kaepernick". #ThankYouKap
