NFL legend Brian Urlacher rips Colin Kaepernick, says protests wouldn't have flown in his locker room
Saturday, September 26, 2026
Brian Urlacher, former Chicago Bears linebacker, said Colin Kaepernick's kneeling during the national anthem would have been a "line in the sand" issue in a shared locker room. Urlacher did not elaborate on what specific actions he would have taken in response to such protests. Kaepernick began kneeling during the national anthem in 2016 while playing for the San Francisco 49ers, citing police brutality and racial injustice.
