It was reported earlier this year that Colin Kaepernick stated he would indeed stop kneeling during the National Anthem so he could continue his football career, but still NFL teams stayed away and has remained that way through 4 weeks into the season.
ON Sunday, more reports came out that Kaepernick would indeed not kneel to make it clear, at least accoridng to CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora.

Kaepernick’s girlfriend, however, took to Twitter and refuted those reports with one post:
The reports that Colin will stand for the anthem are completely false! He has never discussed this with anyone. pic.twitter.com/tWusUBJMeF

Radio personality Charlamagne Tha God then blasted La Canfora for not actually having an interview with Kaepernick, but just happened to bump into him at a hotel lobby.
