L'éveil de Colin Kaepernick

Colin Kaepernick est ce joueur de football qui protestait silencieusement pendant l'interprétation de l'hymne national américain. Aucune équipe ne lui a offert de contrat cette année et son geste divise toujours. Si l'homme se retrouve moins sous les feux des projecteurs, il continue malgré tout son implication. Portrait du quart-arrière controversé.

 "While Kaepernick waits to play, he has hardly been idle. Fulfilling a “million-dollar” pledge he made during the heat of the anthem flap last September, he has donated $100,000 every month since October to up to four charities, with little notice beyond Kaepernick’s website.

The beneficiaries are usually small, relatively unknown and surprised.

“We had no idea how Colin Kaepernick heard about our organization,” said Carolyn A. Watson, founder and executive director of Helping Oppressed Mothers Endure, or H.O.M.E., a foundation supporting single mothers in Georgia. Someone representing Kaepernick contacted the group, Watson said, “and before we knew it, we were giving them the appropriate information and received a $25,000 check in the mail.”"
