All Eyes On Kaepernick As 49'ers Pay Tribute To Military

September 1, 2016

All eyes will be on San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick during a special tribute to the military this evening.

The controversial quarterback plans to sit during the national anthem ahead of the Niners' preseason finale against the Chargers in San Diego. Kaepernick has sparked an uproar over his decision not to stand during the anthem as a protest against the treatment of people of color in the U.S. Coincidentally, it's "Military Night" in San Diego -- and there will be a tribute to current and retired military personnel.
