Anthem-protesting Kaepernick named starter for 49ers
(Reuters) – Colin Kaepernick, who has caused controversy by kneeling during the U.S. national anthem, has been named the starting quarterback for the National Football League's San Francisco 49ers, the team said on Tuesday. Kaepernick, whose protest against injustice and police brutality has been defended by U.S. President Barack Obama and since spread to other players and sports, will take over for a 49ers team that is 1-4 after losing four consecutive games. "We're going to make a move at quarterback, and we're going to start Colin this week," 49ers head coach Chip Kelly told reporters.
