Former NFL player Colin Kaepernick was called out by a Gold Star mom in 2019, and he continues to make headlines in 2022.
Back in 2019, Gold Star mom Amanda Jacobs torched Kaepernick in a July 4 speech, where she said, “When I look at this country today and I tell people, and I’ve wanted to say this loud so many times, Colin Kaepernick was getting paid $14 million dollars a year to throw a ball. My son died for $14,000 a year and he’s given more than any football player, any athlete, has ever given.”
Amanda Jacobs’ son was killed in combat while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps.
She later told “Fox & Friends” that the “flag is a symbol. … It’s a symbol of hope,” adding, “The American flag stands for freedom. It stands for our rights.”
