TEMPE, Ariz. -- It didn't matter to San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick who won Tuesday's presidential election.
He felt of the candidates, including winner Donald Trump, who in the past criticized Kaepernick's decision to kneel during the national anthem, would change a "system" that the quarterback said "oppresses people of color."
Kaepernick, who did not vote Tuesday, said during a conference call Wednesday with media in Arizona that he "really didn't pay too close of attention" to the election, which was decided close to midnight on the West Coast.
"I've been very disconnected from the systematic oppression as a whole," Kaepernick said.
