RedZone host takes shot at Kaepernick for not voting


Colin Kaepernick put himself under increased scrutiny when he revealed that he didn't vote in the presidential election. Stephen A. Smith went as far as to call Kaepernick a "flaming hypocrite" for not voting despite leading an influential movement of anthem protests across sports.

NFL RedZone host Scott Hanson found his own opportunity to throw shade at Kaepernick.

During Sunday's RedZone broadcast, Hanson said that Kaepernick was not "weighed down at all by that 'I Voted' sticker" while calling the quarterback's first-down scramble.

The timing stands out as this was Kaepernick's second game since the election, but Hanson went with the jab anyway.

Hanson would later tweet to clarify his comment.
