Colin Kaepernick Honored With Muhammad Ali Legacy Award 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Dec 6, 2017 1:21 pm

Colin Kaepernick was presented with Sports Illustrated's Muhammad Ali Legacy Award by Beyonce on Tuesday night.

Kaepernick promised that "with or without the NFL's platform, I will continue to work for the people."

Last year's Ali Award winner, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, called Kaepernick a "worthy recipient" during a video tribute.

Kaepernick began kneeling during the national anthem last season to protest racial inequality and police brutality. The demonstration sparked a wave of protests by NFL players during the anthem that repeatedly have been denounced by Donald Trump.

well deserved. he's not the ideal spokesman, but he's certainly sacrificed to start a dialogue
the donald, always unpopular, did worse in EVERY state in 2020. and by a greater margin in red states! 50 independently-run elections, none of them rigged
