Kaepernick expresses disappointment over NFL players' lack of protest support

Colin Kaepernick, during a promotion for his book The Perilous Fight, expressed disappointment at fellow NFL players who did not join his national anthem protest against police brutality. He recounted a conversation where a player mentioned team ownership discouraging protests. Kaepernick noted that some players chose not to protest after discussions with agents or family members, highlighting fear within the league about taking a stand. His initial protest involved sitting on the bench, which was later modified following a suggestion from former Green Beret Nate Boyer to kneel instead.
