I genuinely believe that Kaep is/was sincere in his belief that he could/can effect change by protesting.
The problem for him was that the forum in which he chose to protest was so divisive, that his message was really not even noticed by the majority of white Americans, who simply see him as an asshole disrespecting his country and it’s service members.
I mean, he gew up having a white and black family. If anybody can testify to how ethnicities are treated differently, it would be someone like Kaep.
Unfortunately for him, because he was the first to kneel, the majority of the focus remains on him, even though he hasn’t played this year.
I doubt he ever will play in the NFL again, but I hope that doesn’t stop him from advocating his beliefs.
