Kaepernick taking heat

From the White House to San Francisco police union headquarters, Colin Kaepernick's name came up on Monday as his decision to remain seated on the 49ers bench during the US national anthem reached far beyond football.

And many aren't thrilled with the quarterback's strong words about why he is doing it: To instigate change and challenge authority when it comes to race relations and what he considers police brutality.

Even his former coach, Michigan's outspoken Jim Harbaugh, chimed in from afar in disagreement with Kaepernick's tactics - clarifying some earlier remarks that questioned the quarterback's motivation.
