Times have been tough for Colin Kaepernick, the former quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers who continues to unfairly be punished over his harmless decision to take a knee during the national anthem before NFL games. Kaepernick has been out of a job for the last 8 years and is now 36 years old which has contributed to bringing his odds of securing a QB role in the NFL down.

Colin Kaepernick has put his $3.4 million condo in Tribeca up for sale as per Realtor.com. He purchased the house in 2017, the year after he was mired in controversy for kneeling during the national anthem, his move warranted a response from the-then President Donald Trump and the NFL began to receive the heat from fans who deemed Kaepernick’s actions as a sign of blatant disrespect.

Kaepernick took the knee to protest police brutality and racial inequality across America. Following his move, many players across the league resorted to this move spanning a wider protest throughout. He was soon released by the 49ers and played his last game in the NFL on 1st January 2017. Since then, he was virtually been blackballed from the league.

Since his departure from the NFL, Colin Kaepernick has gone on to earn the tag of being a civil rights activist. Nike honored him by making him the face of its anti-racism advertisement featuring LeBron James and Serena Williams. The “Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything” advertisement marked Kaepernick’s sacrifice of his professional career as a football player to stand up for what he believed was right.

In 2019, the NFL opted to give him a shot to return to the football field. The league organized a workout wherein scouts of major teams were invited exclusively to see how Colin Kaepernick was playing. Representatives from 25 teams showed up to the workout and had a potential interest in him, however, the quarterback did not show up. He instead changed the location of the workout to a place 51 miles away from the initial location.

The last-minute communication regarding the change of location frustrated the scouts and despite this, they showed up at the place where Kaepernick moved the practice to. But he had plans to show more than just his skills on the field that day. As the scouts reached the location, there were fans dressed up wearing t-shirts that voiced their support for Kaepernick. In addition to this, he delivered a speech of his own but did not take any questions from the media.

Colin Kaepernick’s behavior and handling of this opportunity put an end to the possibility of him returning to the NFL. Since then, Kaepernick’s campaign and players vouching for him have both come down. He attempted to reach out to the New York Jets after Aaron Rodgers went down with his injury earlier in the season in the hopes of stepping in as a starting QB but his appeal was not accepted.
