INTERVIEW – JOE THEISMANN – Former Redskin quarterback, football legend and Super Bowl champion
- Joe Theismann: Kaepernick’s Career Isn’t Over, But He was Disrespectful. (FOXBusiness) — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick caused a stir when he refused to stand during the national anthem before the team’s preseason game against the Green Bay Packers to make a statement on race relations in America. Former NFL quarterback Joe Theismann weighed in on the controversy. “I don’t believe he’s ended his career, I think one of the things we have to understand is society has changed so dramatically that different individuals in different walks of life whether it be in music, whether it be in sports or in politics as you know, have really had the ability to step up and say the things that they want to say and they can continue on with their career. The fact that Colin Kaepernick can still play the position of quarterback will probably be either a starter or a backup in San Francisco still exists. I think he has every right in the world to express his opinion as an individual,” Theismann told the FOX Business Network’s Stuart Varney.
