He still is because the media is still focused on him. The Niners, as liberal an organization as any, knew that his presence meant all the other players having to answer endless questions about him.
The report that he said he would stop kneeling was false. His g/f went on Twitter and was very emphatic about that.

I was in grade school in the early 60s. I remember "under God" being removed and reinserted in the pledge of allegiance a few times during my time in grade school.

I went to grade school during the same time/ era you mentioned, "under God" was never removed from the Pledge in morning assemblies. I guess it depended on where you lived at the time

The pledge has been unchanged since Congress added “Under God” in 1954.

It was there in the late 50's , and some teachers had a class prayer following it.

Watching the games today, no way Kaepernick isn't a top 30 QB.

So what, are you aware of all him and his left wing radical girlfriend have done? The disrespect of the flag is just one of many incidents.

The NFL let Josh Brent play, who was drunk and drove and killed a teammate. They let Dante Stallworth play after doing the same thing. They let many players play after beating women. I think I can live with protesting by disrespecting the flag if that is what you want to call it. And frankly, what his girlfriend does is irrelevant to me.

Do a little research, he has done way more than disrespect the flag. Also what his girlfriend does matters as she comments on his issues with the NFL and influences his behavior. She insulted an NFL owner and a future hall of fame player while hen pecked Kaepernick said nothing. He didn't do anything to draw attention to himself until he hooked up with Nessa. She controls him like a puppet, he is a chump who cannot think for himself.

I still don't think his girlfriend matters. Who cares if she insulted an owner? Plenty of people insult owners, including players. Owners insult players too. See the Texans a few weeks ago.
I know all about Kaepernick. As I said, they let not one but two people that drove drunk and killed people back in the league. I think there was another one that I'm forgetting as well. You want to compare Kaepernick to that? To wife beaters? Give me a break.
Packers should have signed him. There season is shot now because they stuck with a scrub.

Blaming a guy for "disrespecting the flag" is one thing...but to criticize him because he allows his girlfriend to CONTROL him?  How do we know what really goes on between Kaepernick and his girlfriend, and...why is that any of our business?

IN all honesty, the nfl owners probably know something you don't.
It's pretty much a fact that Jerry Jones and a few other owners would suit up Charlie Manson if he could help them win, or gain some media attention that isn't terribly negative. Apparently Kapernik simply isn't worth it. I knew a lot of Engineers and Supply Chain professionals that were out of a job b/c they were toxic in their work environments, superiors wouldn't give them a positive recommendation. What's happening to Kapernik isn't new

No offense, but this is Engineers and Supply Chain professionals. They gave Greg Hardy a chance. Nothing they know about this guy is worse than him.
He'll never prove it, but if he showed film of the Bills and Packers today in court he might win his collusion case on that alone.
