Former NFL player and current NBC analyst Rodney Harrison has apologized on Twitter after criticizing Colin Kaepernick and his refusal to stand for the national anthem while suggesting that the San Francisco 49ers quarterback doesn't truly understand racism because he's not black.
In an interview with iHeart Radio, Harrison said Tuesday that Kaepernick has the right to stand for what he believes, but he "has to understand there might be consequences and might be backlash to what he's saying."
"I tell you this, I'm a black man. And Colin Kaepernick -- he's not black," Harrison said.
