Last Friday, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick chose not to stand with his teammates during the national anthem.

NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shares his reaction to Colin Kaepernick’s protest of the National Anthem, including what he would like to see done in terms of social injustice and how Kaepernick’s actions compare to his and Muhammad Ali’s historically.
