Former NFL player Collin Kaepernick stated he felt like a Civil Rights legend when kneeling in the NFL, though reports say he is attempting to get drafted while pursuing politics alongside his football efforts. He reflected on the sacrifices made by predecessors such as those involved in the Montgomery Bus Boycotts, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, and MLK, noting that these individuals were willing to go extraordinary lengths for rights, equity, and justice. The negative reactions in Buffalo included having his jersey set on fire and being targeted with sniper scope imagery, contrasting sharply with an incident in San Diego where a woman signed a 'Kaepernick for president' petition.
