On the 49ers podcast with Dave; The NFL offices reportedly are upset with 49ers Colin Kaepernick’s plan to sit down for the national anthem and presidential hopeful Donald Trump said that Kaepernick “should leave and go find another country to live in.” The NFL offices can stick it as far as I’m concerned who cares what the NFL offices says and who would think the NFL offices would come out and support anything that Kaepernick says.

The NFL’s office job is to try to limit Kaepernick’s position as much as possible they’ve been the opposite as much as possible even in the Ray Rice case or the deflate gate case their always looking to diminish controversy as much as possible. So if Kaepernick is doing something for cause and effort controversy the league office is always going to come out on the opposite side.
