Completly agree with krakowitz and jabroni here, and I'm not even an American. From the outsider in Canada looking in, these "acts" such as Kaepernicks, are most likely merely to draw attention to his name. Because as a non-football fan, I didn't know who he is. After his immature actions, I sure do know. Just because you're unhappy with certain things, doesn't give you the right to act as such.
People have gone through far worse. Jews in World War 2. Slaves in the 19th century. Native people who's populations were destroyed and slaughtered by the Europeans.
If Kaepernick cares so much about this issue, then why not go and spend some money out of the ton he makes, and post full page ads in major newspapers, expressing his unhappiness. That's a civil and professional move. Not some dumb, "I'm gonna disrespect my country because some things ain't fair". He has the money to do so. Clearly, it was the fame he was after.
