No, he lost his job because he sucked.

He was 2-6 as a starter in 2015 and benched for Blaine Gabbert.

New coach Chip Kelly named Gabbert the starter at the beginning of 2016.  It was only then that Kaepernick started his protest.  When he resumed as starter, he went 1-10.  


He has not played since, and kneeling was not the deciding factor.

Sherman, Lynch, and Reid were similarly disliked by many for the same reason as Kaepernick.  Yet, they still played because they added value at their positions.
