A few moments from my conversation with Megan Rapinoe for Why Are You Like This?
In 2016, Megan became the first white athlete to join our protest, kneeling in solidarity with @E_Reid35 and me. Ten years later, we reflected on what that moment cost, what it changed, and the power athletes have when they use their platforms.
Thank you, Megan. You’re family for life.

Some moments from New Orleans for my book tour!
Being reunited with my brother Eric Reid was incredible. He was the first player in the league to protest alongside me, and it was Eric who suggested that we shift from sitting during the anthem to kneeling. I’m grateful to call him my brother.
I appreciated the opportunity to sit down with @E_Reid35 and the incomparable @Realrclark25 to reflect on our experiences, both on and off the field.
I’m grateful for @Bmike_2c for hosting us at Studio Be. New Orleans will always hold a special place in my heart. Eric and his family are family to me, and I’m grateful we had the chance to spend time together.

THROWBACK: Former San Francisco #49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was one hell of a QB during his prime.
In just his second season, Kaepernick led San Fran to the Super Bowl and had a chance to win it all against Baltimore.
Extremely underrated player:
🔁 @kaepernick7: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER THE PERILOUS FIGHT is officially the #1 New York Times Bestseller. Thank you to every single person who bought the book, showed up to a book tour stop, shared it with someone, or supported this journey in any way.
“I support your right to protest… just please make sure nobody notices.”
Colin takes us back to how his protest actually began.
He wasn’t interrupting anything. He wasn’t yelling. He wasn’t fighting anyone.
But even so, it caused some backlash and became controversial.
Watch the full episode on my YouTube channel.
Ben Meiselas recalls traveling with Colin Kaepernick at the height of the controversy and finding that even “in the reddest of the red cities,” people were nice to him, shook his hand and asked for photos.
Kaepernick says the experience revealed a stark gap between the public narrative and how Americans actually treated him.
Kaepernick: “A lot of the responses were very different, and it was consistently different.”
He says that gave him hope because “on the ground, we’re seeing people collectively say, yeah, we actually don’t agree with what they’re doing.”

Colin Kaepernick talks with TIME about why he hasn’t spoken up much about his protests, his relationship with the anthem today, his differences with Jay-Z, and the state of policing in the United States

.@Kaepernick7 says some fellow NFL players “wanted to be out there protesting and they wanted to be supportive,” yet feared retaliation from their organizations. “This isn't a one-player or one-team thing. This was across the NFL,” he tells @jemelehill. #TAF26
