GLENDALE, Ariz. – As per normal, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick took a knee prior to the start of Sunday’s NFL game against the Arizona Cardinals.

He’s also accustomed to answering related questions. While wearing a black t-shirt with the Malcolm X quotation, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything,” Kaepernick was allowed time for two questions before the team bus left following the 49ers’ eighth loss of the season.

On why he didn’t vote in the recent election, he said, “It would be hypocritical of me to vote. I said from the beginning that I was against oppression, against the system of oppression.

“I’m not going to show support for that system. To me, the oppressor isn’t going to allow you to vote your way out of your oppression.”

Asked if he feels any more urgency for his cause following the election, Kaepernick said, “I think everybody should feel urgency to make sure we’re doing the right thing, building things the right way in order to protect ourselves from what may come from this.”
