Not completely disagreeing, but Kaepernick didn't bring politics into it. He brought perceived social issues.
I never cared too much about Kaepernick's protest. I live in an area with very few 'police behaving bad' problems, few racial issues, low crime, decent salary range, etc. I still don't care so much about what he had to say. But now it's a case of a president calling for a business to fire employees because he disagreed with one of them. Despite how little I care about Kaepernick's stance, it's more relevant now.
