NFL Junkies podcast: Kaepernick's protest and fallout

Paste BN Sports NFL columnist Jarrett Bell joins USAT NFL editor Chris D'Amico via phone to weigh in on Colin Kaepernick's decision not to stand during the national anthem in protest of what he feels is the country's poor treatment of minorities.

Jarrett and Chris discuss their views, in addition to those of many from around the league, how this generation of athletes is reminiscent of another historical era and what the quarterback must do now to see this thing through.

They also talk about how the unintended consequence: How this story has become more about Kaepernick sitting than it has raised awareness.
