Dez Bryant Says Colin Kaepernick Brought Awareness but 'There Was No Call to Action'

Dez Bryant had a pointed critique of Colin Kaepernick and what he perceived as a lack of commitment by Kaepernick to the social causes he has championed.

The three-time Pro Bowler offered his thoughts on the I Am Athlete podcast:

"I respect Colin Kaepernick, but there's one thing I don't respect. And I said when I get the opportunity to get on the stage to say it I would say it. I love him to death, so it ain't no hate or nothing like that. But brother, you had the biggest opportunity in the world to create jobs, build jobs, give jobs to people, the people you were talking about, the people that you so called standing up for, the people who stood beside you, the people who lost their jobs because of you.
