What happened
Colin Kaepernick still watches football. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback told NBC News in an interview that he prefers to watch the college game instead. The 38-year-old Kaepernick, who led the 49ers to a Super Bowl after the 2012 season, hasn't played since the 2016 season finale, an exile that began not long after he started taking a knee during the national anthem to highlight social injustices.
