ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh didn't mince words when asked Monday about the recent protest made by his former quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
"I acknowledge his right to do that. I don't respect the motivation or the action," said Harbaugh, who coached Kaepernick with the San Francisco 49ers .
Kaepernick remained seated this weekend while the National Anthem played prior to the 49ers' preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. After the game, he told reporters that he sat because he didn't want to show pride in a country that oppresses people of color.
