Colin Kaepernick should be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Once there's a new President Colin Kaepernick should have this medal for his bravery beyond adversity.
Why is this important?
I agree wholeheartedly. He took a knee in silent protest and was blacklisted for it. Now everyone from the NFL and all his haters have remorse. His bravery, courage and activism is what has lead to where this country and other countries worldwide are at. For context he started sitting down and then was asked to take a knee, as it was felt to be so called more respectful, of which he did and still. So yes he should get it as a sign to the rest of the world that racism and police brutality is no longer acceptable in this country.
