The NFL suspended Colin Kaepernick for kneeling during the national anthem. That's mild compared hijacking a speech with a gasmask and calling for revolution.

  Kaepernick was not suspended by the NFL at any point during the anthem protests. Neither was he fined. There is nothing in the NFL rulebook about what you should do during the anthem. Kaepernick suspects that his activism is the reason no team has signed him since he became a free agent. And he may be right. But he was not fired, suspended, or in any way punished officially for what he did.

    Fair enough. I don't really follow football. I still think that he would have been suspended if he put on a black panther beret and called for a revolution.

      Probably, but mostly because the beret would have been in violation of the uniform guidelines.

  >The NFL suspended Colin Kaepernick for kneeling during the national anthem False. He chose to use a clause in his contract that let him leave the 49ers early.
