During Sunday Night Football between the San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears, QB Colin Kaepernick was flagged with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The flag happened on this play, and caused many to speculate that he received the penalty for saying the N-word.
Kaepernick was fined $11,000 by the NFL. But, he plans to appeal the fine, proclaiming he did nothing wrong. Some believe he may have been telling Bears Lamarr Houston to back the “F” up.
“[Kaepernick] knows what he said,” Hayes said. “It was the right call.”
…The league promised to have ‘zero tolerance for obscene and abusive language’ in 2014.
This is only week 2.
