Hello 49ers fans. As you know, Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers have been in the news quite a bit over the last few days regarding Kaepernick’s decision to sit during the National Anthem. He is protesting racial inequality and police brutality in this country. It’s a decision that has sparked both massive support and massive outrage. As you can read here, I am supportive of Kaepernick and his right to take a stand in the manner he sees most fit.
Meanwhile, the 2016 NFL season is less than two weeks away, and the Niners aren’t looking too good. The Kaepernick controversy aside, the quarterback situation is a mess, the team is lacking in playmakers, and there is a rebuild going on, whether the 49ers want to admit it or not.
ESPN’s Jim Trotter joined me and Steph on this week’s Talking Touchdowns podcast to discuss the above, as well as:
- The conversation we should be having regarding Kaepernick’s decision
- Kaepernick’s future with the team and the football reasons behind it
- How Jim Harbaugh hurt Kaepernick’s play
- The NFC West
- And more reasons why it’s going to be another tough season in Santa Clara.
We know this was not the most upbeat podcast, but a dose of reality is good every once in awhile. And maybe, just maybe, they’ll prove us all wrong.
