Twitter erupts after ESPN's Ryan Clark wears Colin Kaepernick jersey on air

ESPN football analyst Ryan Clark set Twitter on fire Tuesday by donning a No. 7 Colin Kaepernick jersey on "Mike and Mike in the Morning."

Clark, the former Pittsburgh Steelers safety, showed his solidarity with the 49ers quarterback's ongoing protest against police brutality the morning after the release of a disturbing video showing Tulsa police shooting an unarmed African-American man with his hands in the air. The dead man was identified as 40-year old Terence Crutcher.

"I just wanted to show support for someone who I think is finally stepped out of what we want athletes to do," Clark said, according to Sports Business Daily.
