donald trump responded by suggesting kaepernick should leave the united states.d owners fire or suspend them, and actually urged fans to boycott the league. in 2017, he called players who protested, quote, sons of b, and that kicked off what has been called a war between trump and the nfl. players, coaches and even franchise owners joined in on the protests and showed defiance against trump by kneeling or linking arms in solidarity during the anthem. as a result, the league's popularity took a hit during trump's first term, with criticism coming from both sides of the political aisle. it's recovered in years since, in part due to the 2019 partnership between the nfl and jay-z's roc nation to revamp the super bowl halftime show. ratings have bounced back, with performances from stars like the weeknd and rihanna and usher, and this time the headliner is kendrick lamar, who just swept the grammys and won both song and record of the year. he is a rapper who has long been viewed as an icon of black excellence. he's won a pulitzer prize for his work, and he also critic

when you think about trump's first term, that is when colin kaepernick was taking any and all this nonsenseational anthem and whether they should salute or stand up or take a knee. i think the nfl game was almost like a metaphor, that america was happy. they were cheering for the president. they were cheering for the national anthem. there was none of the negativity. sure, there was between the teams. but i think that there was a unifying moment. you. unifying moment that kamala harris said that she would bring an joe biden would bring. biden did not bother to go to a super bowl game. even do a super bowl interview. i think in the end, taylor swift getting booed, i don't know whether it was maga, philly fans, but the public just does not want celebrities in their sports anymore. they don't want the politics in their sports anymore. they want to enjoy sports for sports. i want to talk about the halftime show. now, i got to tell you, what a nightmare. i kept sitting there saying maybe i just don't get this guy. then i find out there is the subplot, there is this drama with drake. this guy, ke

there to begin with because if you want to end racism, how about starting by not ending colin kaepernick'sou exiled him from the league because he was speaking up against these messages that you claim to now be in support of. so there's that part of it. the other piece of it, too, is that when you look at the nfl's track record, when it comes to race, it's quite inconsistent. i mean, it was just a few years ago, reverend, that they ended race norming. and for those people who don't understand what that is in the concussion settlements, they were denying money or giving black players who suffer from concussions a lesser amount of money from the concussion settlements because, according to their science, black players were cognitively inferior compared to white players. they just ended that a couple years ago. so i don't know who the nfl is trying to impress, but i don't look at what you say. i don't look at your slogans. i look at what you do, and what they do is often not in line with who they are trying to present themselves to be. >> now take a listen to more of trump's super bowl interv

i think jay-z and kendrick lamar should both send colin kaepernick a bundt cake and a six pack of beer and a thank you note with a bunch of money in it, because without him kneeling and getting everyone's panties in a bunch over the anthem, self included. um, i don't think that happens. >> yeah, i know you. >> and by the way, wait, one more point. this was this was the epitome of die. like this was the epitome of die blowing up because, you know, the nfl was on die end racism all this stuff. they got jay-z in their book and this and like kendrick lamar goes out there and basically turns die into an ied. it's it's like it's all black people or all people of color. speaking to his crowd in the hood, black people. and it was like the most non exclusive or the most exclusive thing ever. and i'm like, fuck yeah, that's awesome. i'm laughing. i'm laughing my ass off. >> yeah. um. >> but okay, um. but on the, on the bringing people together part, i mean, you have a song called my kind of country. my kind of country has room for trump and a jfk. that's the first line, right? >> had i known, i

well, montana and steve young and jerry rice, colin kaepernick because famously of protest.t the city in a way. and it just seems like they were meant to be there's something here that drive. what creativity, lot crazy, imaginative thinking everything is changing. get it's still change things. never disappointed. there's part aspects to it. you see that. but it had magic then and it's gotten i'm not supposed to root because i'm in objective reporter. but for san francisco. >> the letter that nothing like san francisco >> when male smart ascension francisco time selling for still saying the country. >> it's a lot of money some that despite what people say there are many, many businesses that are here to stay and they're going to be here long. a city changes that the mission district will need to we love it or hate it's a hard act to follow. >> all right. every tuesday during our newscast going to be telling stories of the people who make up san francisco. this is our city on kron 4. and if you missed any of the stories, you can always find on. kron 4 dot com. >> alright, weat

colin kaepernick famously, infamously, of course, being told to get off the field by donald trump himselfe. the removal of it, though, and the timing of it does feel, at the very least, convenient. all of this has felt to me from the start about political convenience, the theater of saying that you are really concerned about something as if putting end racism in the end zone is going to solve that problem. of course, that's always been performative, but the real like bottom line here simply is that this is the most important cultural real estate in american life, chris, for better and for worse. and so what the super bowl is and looks like and what they are saying has, of course, resonance in a way that's deeper because it's the biggest megaphone we have in this country. >> yeah. let's say i think the i think i read in the ap that there are 11 franchises who have never had a black coach, so that's another controversy who's, you know, really running these teams. but this is the single most valuable sports franchise in the world, the nfl. forbes says that the dallas cowboys, who didn't have
