Colin Kaepernick (KAP’-ur-nihk) says he plans to sit through the national anthem for as long as he feels is appropriate and until he sees significant progress in race relations in America.

He refused to stand for the “The Star Spangled Banner” before the 49ers’ preseason loss to the Packers Thursday.
