Colin Kaepernick played Sunday to protests from all sides of the debate. Though most notably were these shirts being sold outside the Buffalo Bills' stadium:

Anyways, to answer my previous question. Where was Kaeptain America's head at in his first start for the San Francisco 49ers since November 1, 2015:

He walked into Buffalo, into the stadium, and right into the center of this political shitstorm wearing a Muhammad Ali shirt. A Shirt With Muhammad Ali On It! Kaepernick, who apparently was representing the entire race Sunday, performed competently but uninspired as the game went on. In my opinion, that was in part due to the defense just giving up too many yards and having no solution to stop the offense of Tyrod Taylor and co.
But, again, to answer my question, for real. Where was Young Kaep's head at for the game? His mind was clearly and exactly where he wanted it to be—aware, prepared, strong, and unafraid. Hopefully, this translates onto the field for him in the near future. Good luck to him.
