NEW YORK — Former Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann isn't happy with the San Francisco 49ers' decision to give Colin Kaepernick an award for "inspirational and courageous" player.
Kaepernick sparked a national debate by kneeling during the national anthem before games as a way of protesting racial injustice and police brutality.
Kaepernick received the Len Eshmont Award last week. The prize is described as the team's most prestigious honour; its recipient is decided by players.
