Scott Clarke / ESPN Images(SANTA CLARA, Calif.) — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick said he will not vote in this presidential election.
Kaepernick, who has received backlash for taking a knee during the national anthem to protest race relations in the country, said Tuesday he did not vote and was not planning on voting.
The quarterback expressed his opinions about both presidential candidates after the first debate.
“To me, it was embarrassing to watch that these are our two candidates,” Kaepernick said at the time, according to ESPN. “Both are proven liars, and it almost seems like they’re trying to debate who is less racist, and at this point, I was talking to one of my friends who goes, ‘You have to pick the lesser of two evils, but in the end it’s still evil.'”
