Following the kneeling incident in 2016, Colin Kaepernick shifted his focus away from the court. The former quarterback, renowned for his social activism, is no longer being actively pursued by teams due to his courageous stand of kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality in the US. Despite the ensuing controversy, he remains a free agent, utilizing his platform to make positive contributions to the community.

A few days ago, Kaepernick made headlines by donating $1 million to 41 charities, addressing a diverse array of social issues in the US. Although NFL teams have not reached out to him at present, the former 49ers QB has other plans to stage a comeback in various ways. This trailblazer, who kickstarted a new era of athlete activism, once being called by a different name from a teammate’s mother.

A teammate’s mother forgot Kap’s real name

In March of this year, Colin Kaepernick released his graphic novel “Change The Game,” beautifully depicting the journey of a young change-maker finding himself and staying true to his beliefs. In the book, Kaepernick shared an incident from his past where a former teammate’s mother affectionately called him “BO.” His teammate corrected her, saying, “His name’s Colin, Ma,” but she appreciated it and said, “Sure, but he’s like BO Jackson. Baseball, football, basketball- the boy does it all!”

After the incident, Kaepernick felt respected by the teammate’s mother, and he wrote a note on that page, reflecting on the realization that being around people who made him feel good about himself also made him feel like he truly belonged. From that point on, he was determined to gravitate toward those supportive individuals.
