In 2016 then San Francisco 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick, in uniform at work, took a knee during the national anthem to protest police violence against black people.
Kaepernick was permitted to finish the season, as the starting quarterback, in fact, and then, as a free agent, couldn't find any NFL team interested in signing him.
The sports media overwhelmingly lionized Kaepernick, turning him into a modern-day sports version of Rosa Parks. As a result, Kaepernick made tens of millions of dollars, far more than he ever could have as a backup quarterback, from ESPN, Nike, Netflix, publishing houses, you name it, all of them threw money at Kaepernick and pronounced him a hero.
