Former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens is putting his support directly behind Colin Kaepernick as he will reportedly join the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity for a “march and kneel” rally in support of an NFL team signing the free agent QB.
Kaepernick started the movement of kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and police brutality in 2016.
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” he told NFL Media at the time. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”
Owens even began singing during his interview with TMZ Sports, telling the league that it was too late to apologize and to give Kaepernick his job back to make things right.
“They owe this guy a job. They have stripped this guy of his livelihood and I don’t think that’s fair.”
Owens has been active as part of the protests following Floyd’s killing.
