4:20Now PlayingRight wingers are spreading the rumor that Colin Kaepernick is a secret Muslim. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Colin Kaepernick has gone through a lot changes this offseason -- he grew out his hair, he lost weight and he's now a vegan, just to name a few of those changes. However, one change he didn't go through is a change of his religion.
During his weekly press conference on Wednesday, the quarterback debunked the internet rumors that claimed his girlfriend had convinced him to convert to Islam and become a Muslim.
"I have great respect for the religion, know a lot of people that are Muslim and are phenomenal people, but I think that (rumor of conversion) comes along with people's fear of this protest, as well as Islamophobia in this country," Kaepernick said, via USA Today. "People are terrified of them to the point where Trump wants to ban all Muslims from coming here, which is ridiculous."
The rumors of a Kaepernick religious conversion started shortly after the 49ers quarterback went public with his first national anthem protest on Aug. 26. The rumor then gained some steam when it was mentioned on Fox News.”
