In a conversation with\u00a0Sky Sports News,\u00a0<\/em>Kaepernick discussed the same, still keeping hope alive for another football stint.<\/p>\n “We’re still training, still pushing,” Kaepernick said. “So hopefully, we’ve just got to get one of these team owners to open up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “It’s something I’ve trained my whole life for, so to be able to step back on the field, I think that would be a major moment, a major accomplishment for me. I think I could bring a lot to a team and help them win a championship.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n A talented wide receiver, Kaepernick’s 2016 protests made headlines. A few players followed suit, kneeling alongside Kaepernick during the 49ers games.<\/p>\n Many, however, saw it as disrespect towards the country and the US flag. This became a major political issue with repercussions for Kaepernick.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Kansas City Chiefs star\u00a0Harrison Butker<\/a>\u00a0was under fire for his controversial speech at Benedictine College. Butker spoke about multiple sensitive subjects, including abortion, IVF and even the LBGTQ+ community.<\/p>\n Kaepernick\u00a0reacted through Instagram<\/a>, sharing stories that pointed out Roger Goodell’s hypocrisy regarding the former WR and Butker.<\/p>\n Actress Whoopi Goldberg, who shared her views on Butker’s speech, was also quick to compare the situation to\u00a0Colin Kaepernick<\/a>:<\/p>\n “These are his beliefs and he\u2019s welcome to them. I don\u2019t have to accept them. In the same way, we want respect when Colin Kaepernick takes a knee, we want to give respect to people whose ideas are different from ours. I\u2019m OK with him saying whatever he said.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nColin Kaepernick agreed with those accusing Roger Goodell of hypocrisy over Harrison Butker’s speech<\/h2>\n
