In a number of Instagram posts, San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick called out presidential candidate Donald Trump and discrimination in general.
Kaepernick, who was placed on season-ending injured reserve to have surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, made four posts on Instagram. Each calling Trump out for a different reason and then closed it out with a quote from retired Air Force Colonel Thomas Moe with the caption, "Food for thought!"
The Instagram posts are included below following the video.

Defensive tackle Aaron Donald didn't hide his feelings or mince words after being asked about the Los Angeles Rams' division rivals, the San Francisco 49ers.
"I dislike the Niners. Everybody knows that. I don't like the Niners at all," Donald told NFL Network last week. "They don't like us. It's just the rivals. Every time we play, it's a dog fight, and that's how it is. No love at all towards them guys. I really dislike them, and we'll see them twice this year."
Donald's feelings are understandable. After all, the Niners have gotten the best of his Rams in six consecutive regular-season matchups. However, Los Angeles finally snapped the losing streak, beating San

Mike Tannenbaum made his opinion on the San Francisco 49ers' quarterback situation very clear this week. The former NFL executive turned analyst was asked on ESPN's GetUp if the move from Jimmy Garoppolo, who enjoyed a lot of success in his four-and-a-half year run as the Niners' starting quarterback, to second-year quarterback Trey Lance is a risk.
"Yes, and it's an unnecessary one," Tannenbaum said bluntly. "You have a great quarterback in Jimmy Garoppolo, who over the last three years has taken your team to the Super Bowl and the [NFC] Championship Game. I love Trey Lance. I think his upside is compelling. But why would you risk not playing Jimmy Garoppolo, especially early, when you have a team that can win right now?

49ers heavy running backs room can thin out real soon

The San Francisco 49ers have a problem, and this problem may be a good one to have. The team has six running backs looking to make the 53-man roster. You may think six running backs is a lot, but that's only two-thirds compared to the nine runnings the 49ers used in 2021. That year, the 49ers used Jeff Wilson, Trey Sermon (rookie), Jacques Patrick, Raheem Mostert (season-ending IR after Week 1), Elijah Mitchell (rookie), Kerryon Johnson, Brian Hill, JaMycal Hasty, and Trenton Cannon.
The 2021 season was injury plagued at the running back position. Elijah Mitchell was the leading rusher for the 49ers with 963 yards, five touchdowns, and averaged 4.7 yards per carrying, all while missing five games.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan's plan for the running backs room Is no
On Thursday, due to recent injuries in the secondary, the San Francisco 49ers worked out free agent safety Tashaun Gipson, per NFL Communications.
Gipson, 32, has spent 10 years in the NFL. He spent the 2021 season with the Chicago Bears, recording 47 tackles, two interceptions, and three passes defended.
Gipson's workout comes after head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated the team would add a player in the secondary following the injuries to Jimmie Ward (hamstring) and Dontae Johnson (rib cartilage fracture).
"We have [S] George [Odum], who's done a good job. We probably will have to add some more people there, especially with [CB] Dontae [Johnson], because Dontae has done a real good job also. But he might be out this week too with his rib cartilage, so
