4:25Now PlayingThe Colin Kaepernick controversy continues, and this time Trent Dilfer is going to chime in. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Even as Colin Kaepernick’s protest of the national anthem has spread to other players and teams, helping to legitimize it as a valid act of political conscience now that it’s divorced from its perception as one man’s personal crusade, some reactionaries still can’t seem to let go of their own personal views on the subject. Trent Dilfer is one of those people who told Kaep, in so many words, to shut up, and Colin had a predictably appropriate and thoughtful response.
Dilfer has gotten it from many sources for sounding like a disapproving white man patronizing a black man, but he’s taken to the radio to defend his comments as being not about race, but about football and Kaep’s status as a backup.
“That’s the one where it does appear as if I’m saying, ‘Hey you, you just go be quiet and what you’re standing for, you can’t do this.’ That’s not what I was saying,” Dilfer said. “I guess where I was coming from was a complete football context. My nine years as an analyst, I’m on record multiple times about being passionate about team dynamics.”
