Colin Kaepernick Donates $50,000.00 to Meals on Wheels

Former San Francisco quarterback, Colin Kaepernick became hated by many Americans because he decided to protest police brutality by exercising his first amendment right and kneeling during the rendition of the national anthem.

But apparently, Kaepernick does more than just annoying people who fail to understand what freedom of speech is all about. According to a recent article, Kaepernick is also free with his money. And Trump’s recent budget to take money away from Meals on Wheels caused Kaepernick to jump into gear.

Kaepernick, who sparked controversy by kneeling during the national anthem before 49ers games in the fall of 2016, also donated $50,000 to the social media campaign #LoveArmyForSomalia, which aims to raise $2 million to aid starving people in Somalia, NFL.com reported.

Kaepernick’s donation to Meals on Wheels comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s proposed budget plan for 2018, which would cut federal funding for the program. Kaepernick and Trump have sparred often since the quarterback began kneeling before football games to protest police brutality and racial oppression
