Colin Kaepernick says Nate Boyer’s involvement in the kneeling protest “felt” like a photo opportunity

What was said

"“So what it felt like is this is much more of a photo op um than like, hey, I'm gonna be in this with you.”"

Colin Kaepernick says that after backlash to his decision to sit during the anthem, team-mate Eric Reid suggested moving to the front line and kneeling. Kaepernick also describes a meeting arranged with former Green Beret and ex-NFL player Nate Boyer, saying Boyer initially expressed support but then said he could not kneel; Kaepernick says it “felt” more like a “photo op” than sustained support and alleges Boyer later claimed credit for advising them to kneel.
