Hopkins: This Isn’t About Kaepernick; It’s About an ‘Uncomfortable Conversation’ About Blacks and Police
‘The number 1 reason why NFL fans, not just people in general, fans tuned out of games last year was because of the disrespect that Colin Kaepernick and other people that followed them showed for the national anthem and the American flag’
EXCERPT:
STARR HOPKINS: "I do. I wrote a column about this for the 'Huffington Post' yesterday. And Colin Kaepernick is absolutely being banned. Colin Kaepernick had 18 touchdowns, four interceptions. You know, like the reporter stated, he may have been the 23rd best quarterback in the league, but there’s still 31-32 teams in the league. Which means he should at least be a backup, if not a starter. This isn't about Colin Kaepernick. This is about an really uncomfortable conversation that America needs to have about African Americans and the policing that's going on in -- in this country."
