irresponsible. he said more. specifically he said kaepernick, quote, is a backup quarterback whose job it is to be quiet and sit in the shadows and get the starter ready to play week one. here is what kaepernick had to say a few hours ago. >> i think that's one of the most ridiculous comments i've heard, the fact that you say you're a backup quarterback, stay in your place, that's an issue. to me you're telling me that my position as a backup quarterback and being quiet is more important than people's lives. i would ask him to really have a conversation with the families of people who have been murdered and see if he still feels that way. i bet you he doesn't because he hasn't experienced that type of oppression. >> kaepernick says he's going to continue his protests until things change. he's also donating a million dollars to community

organizations. >> that was the scene right outside the main gate last night. the backdrop, a poster filled with pictures of black men killed by police. the american flag situated on the ground. the group was calling on more fans to support kaepernick. other players as you see kneeling orr holding up their fists. this happened for teams around the league this evening. >> as for the game itself, it was a waut. carlos hyde ran the way with 88 yards and two touchdowns. the 9ers defense did the rest, keeping the rams scoreless. the final was 28-0. we're told bpa has sold only 11 season tickets for the 49er expre express train. they say single game tickets

oakland and mid 70s around the tri-valley. today, likely the coolest day of the next seven days. san francisco will see a slight warmup thursday and friday, but bigger changes in your seven-day forecast across the valleys, closer to average temperatures by thursday and friday. by the end of the weekend, some spots approaching 90. >> looking over here, just tuesday. we can think about the weekend. we have a south bay, the same area of santa clara, the first crash near lawrence expressway. the second crash closer to the greater american parkway in the middle of the freeway. we see traffic slowing as far back as 880. chp hopefully rendering assistance. in the tri-valley, for pleasanton and 880. the bay bridge toll plaza has your standard backup here and no problems out of the maze. we have your usual company guys. back to you. >> a lot of company out there.

it's been more than 20 years in the making. there's word a new east bay b.a.r.t. station could be up and running by halloween. the warm springs station could open very soon this fall. b.a.r.t. is waiting for cabling to be completed to announce the backstage. the new station was first proposed back in 1991 as a way to cut down traffic on 880. i'd say it's a long time coming sam. >> up next, zika and your brain. a new study showing it could be more harmful to adults than first thought. a samsung phone explodes in little boy's hand. but it's mott the phone that is being recalled. silicon valley says to trump, show us your taxes. they're putting money behind it. we'll tell you about it coming up in business and tech.

culprit in hoverboard fires as well. when any battery gets too hot, there's a risk of fire. lithium is really kind of the best and the worst thing you can put in a battery. it's the least dense metal so they're super lightweight but really reactive. maybe your chemistry teacher dropped sodium into water? same reaction. silicon valley reached its boiling point on trump's taxes, promising money if the candidate will do what all candidates have done and release his tax information. linkedin ceo has offered $5 million if the rest of the donors can come up with $1 million. there's still some road ahead. the money will go to veterans charities if trump releases his
