Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports conducted a long private interview with Kaepernick.
It was misreported that Kaepernick told him that he would stand for the anthem if he was signed by a team. Here is how the confusion started.
Back in the offseason it was reported that Kaepernick would stand. La Canfora repeated this information and outlets ran with it as new information when it was not.
Standing for Anthem wasn't something that I spoke to Colin about sat. I relayed what had been reported about him standing in the future…

Reports about @Kaepernick7 standing for anthem had not been refuted. However, I cant say if they are true or not. Colin and I didn't discuss

I know @Kaepernick7 is fully committed to playing football and helping those in need. What he would do during the Anthem I do not know

A lot of things have changed since then including the President of the United States calling NFL players sons of bitches and more black men being murdered by cops, so no one knows how Kaepernick feels today.
Hopefully outlets will correct their stories.
