Colin Kaepernick hasn't appeared in an NFL game in more than a year, but his name, image and message remain prominent as the nation continues to be roiled by a cultural tug of war.
In a video posted on Twitter Wednesday, the former 49ers quarterback said he’d donate $10,000 per day for the next 10 days. Those will be the final installments toward the pledge he made on Sept. 1, 2016 to donate $1 million to like-minded causes. Kaepernick's national anthem protest had come to light a week earlier, and the 49ers' final preseason game in front of a pro-military crowd in San Diego was the first time he had refused to stand for the Star-Spangled Banner while the country looked on.
