There was once a time where Colin Kaepernick was a poster-boy for the NFL’s college-esque offensive revolution. Sadly, those days are done for the quarterback, but he’s become a poster-boy for something else; kneeling during the National Anthem. Kaepernick has been in protest for the lack of awareness of police brutality against African Americans. His protest of the anthem has inspired a plethora of players and teams to either kneel or do a variation of honor during the Anthem.

With the NBA season slowly approaching, it’s brought intrigue by fans to see which NBA players will decide to protest the Anthem and who will stand.
