Colin Kaepernick flushed his NFL career down the toilet after he decided to start protesting the National Anthem during games last season. Fans were furious and unsurprisingly, his refusal to stand and show respect for his country, cost him his job. The San Francisco 49ers cut him, no other team has picked him up and now, things are not looking good.

Kaepernick bought a massive mansion in the San Francisco Bay area after signing with the 49ers, but now, that house has been put up for sale. He’s listed the house for $2.9 million after buying it for $2.7 million, but he also spent a fortune renovating the mansion.
Now, months after the NFL season ended, Kaepernick still finds himself without a job. There seemingly is no team that wants him and it’s not hard to see why: he was one of the worst quarterbacks in the league last season and he comes with an insane amount of baggage. So, what is he spending his retirement doing? Trying to help parolees make a better life for themselves.

Reaction on Twitter was mixed. Some praised what Kaepernick did; others saw it as a publicity stunt.
Joe Mixon punched a woman in the face, still got drafted.
Kaepernick exercised his right to protest, still unsigned. https://t.co/eFdtg7zoEA— Chris Jackson (@ChrisCJackson) May 1, 2017
Dear liberals
Caitlyn Jenner is not a hero.
Colin Kaepernick is not a hero.They just wanted 15 min of fame. #ESPN sucks anyways.

Getting pretty tired of this Kaepernick character actively trying to better the world. Just complain about stuff on twitter like us!

ESPN would rather have Jemele Hill talk about Colin Kaepernick and BLM than have actually intelligent people talk about sports.

If you're upset about Milo, Coulter, Cernovich et al. and didnt say a word in support of Kaepernick, it's not free speech you're defending.

It’s hard to say whether this is a legitimate act of charity from Kaepernick, or if he’s just trying to rehab his image in a desperate attempt to get signed.
In John Hawkins’ new book, ‘101 Things All Young Adults Should Know’, he teaches in number 85 of the book that you are not a victim.

Whatever happens with Kaepernick’s career, he needs to remember that. He’s not a victim here; he chose his own fate.
