Star-Spangled Banner: Kaepernick and Campaign-Style Rally

star-spangled banner: It came a day after President Donald Trump took a swipe Kaepernick during a campaign-style rally in Kentucky by taking credit for the lack of suitors for the free agent, according to Hamilton Spectator. Kaepernick's refusal to stand for The Star-Spangled Banner ahead of 49ers games last season as a protest of police treatment of minorities became a topic of national debate. The group that provides food for seniors in need thanked Kaepernick for his donation on Tuesday. Meals on Wheels faces a sharp funding cut under Trump's proposed budget. The controversial quarterback was placed on the negotiation list of the CFL Hamilton Tiger-Cats this week. Kaepernick is also promoting a campaign to raise millions of dollars for drought relief in Somalia. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
