A controversy has erupted over the weekend when San Francisco 49er’s Quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand up during the playing of the national anthem.
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.” Colin Kaepernick stated.
According to reports, Kaepernick converted to Islam during the off-season. Colin Kaepernick is also engaged to a Black Lives Matter activist and hip-hop radio personality DJ Nessa Diab. She hosts PM Drive on WQHT 97.1 FM in New York. The station is owned by Emmis Communications.
According to NFL players who are friends with Kaepernick, Colin and NessA Diab, who attended the Berkeley campus of the University of California, are going to have a traditional Muslim wedding.
Nessa began her career in San Francisco as the night time on-air personality before she was offered the position at Hot 97 in New York City.
I'm always proud of him and always will be @Kaepernick7 . Please take the time to UNDERSTAND what he is saying https://t.co/9813ly7guS— NESSA (@nessnitty) August 28, 2016
