Colin Kaepernick’s football career remains very much a question mark, but he’s already left an impression on American culture, as his jersey and other gear from his protests in 2016 are now in the hands of the Smithsonian.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture continuously collects items of historic significance from African Americans involved in all phases of American life, and the sociologist and author Harry Edwards encouraged the museum to take a close look at Kaepernick. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback drew nationwide attention last year when he knelt during the national anthem to protest police brutality in America.

Edwards arranged for the donation of a jersey and other equipment to the Smithsonian, but did so with a request. “I said, ‘Don’t wait 50 years to try to get some memorabilia and so forth on Kaepernick,’” Edwards said, according to USA Today. “‘Let me give you a game jersey, some shoes, a picture. … And it should be put right there alongside Muhammad Ali. He’s this generation’s Ali.’”...................

Since his "gear" will already be in DC maybe the Redskins should sign him. After signing he can protest the teams name.

Mr. Edwards should pray that Kaepernick does not become this generation's Ali. I don't even see how it is close. But ok....

[Gastineau Lives]

Yes, Colin Kaepernick is really one of the top two or three players in the history of football. Yes, not going to fight in a war and being banned from your sport is the same thing as sucking just enough to not justify the headache you will cause, public relations-wise. The comparison is dead on. Can't wait til he makes an NFL roster to be his once-dominant self again. We've been deprived of his talents and it just sucks.

Hopefully it will be hanging proudly in the new, mandatory transgender bathroom.

My liver might make it in at some point after watching this franchise for so long.

[Flushing Roots]

Remind me not to go visit when I am in DC.

[peebag]

Well, that's nice.

I wouldn't even be mad if a pandemic wiped out our entire species any more.

He's this generation's Ali....  I guess the standards have fallen in every part of American culture.

Bullet proof argument, there. Not quite a straw man, since the dumbest among us sometimes say this, but not quite a coherent thought, either. Brilliant.

There is. It's called "History" and "culture".

"White people" had their chance, and they ruined the world. Now we need to lock them all up in cages and shock them if they make any noise.

Im a sociologist and I resemble that remark. It's not so much we're experts on social problems, we just can identify their root causes. You can't fix something unless you know it's broken. Most  people are satisfied and blinded by their instincts despite the repercussions it has on others. As long as they get their fill of apple pie, baseball and Chevrolet,  they are like piggies in poop ?. Change only occurs through rebellion. ?

I'm not quite sure.... I'm assuming they were being suppressed by privelaged white people, but you'd be better off asking Lizzy Warren, or @Integrity28, or @T0mShane

It's "privileged." I won't dignify a misspelled aspersion.

IBTL, but would love to see the Venn diagram showing the overlap between Dudes defending Joe Mixon and Dudes who despise Kaepernick.
