The Bay Area's biggest star athletes have come together for a charitable cause.
Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick announced Wednesday the completion of his $1 million charity giveaway in which he gifted $100,000 each month to various community-action and social-justice organizations.

Kaepernick was able to reach his goal thanks, in part, to Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, who donated $10,000 each.

I dont want to hear from anybody thats criticizing what hes doing with that million dollars,


Curry said, via the San Francisco Chronicle.

You can disagree with him, you can disagree with his kneeling and that whole journey, or anything he said. But the fact that hes putting his money where his mouth is and going to communities and actually helping, not just talking, anybody who wants to criticize that can go somewhere else with that.


Durant echoed Curry's praise, adding he can appreciate Kaepernick shedding light on harsh realities that are often overlooked.

There are a lot of people that want to be in the dark about who they are and what they believe in. They want it to stay in the dark,


Kevin Durant said.

So I think he kind of brought everything to light. And a lot of people that he uncovered some truths about, they hate him. And the people that love him enjoy that hes kind of been a whistler-blower for some of that stuff.

Its a conversation we need to have, and maybe hes uncovering some stuff thats going on in the higher-ups and front offices and the executives, that people dont want to hear about. I love what hes doing. Hes taking the brunt of the punch for everybody who believes what hes standing up for. So all power and respect to him.

Glad to see he was doing more than just talking this entire time, maybe if he supplemented his initial comments with it people might've supported him sooner.

Great guy. If all he did was complain then all of the racists and racism supporters hating on him would have a point.

But he acted. Now they all look like pathetic and it is glorious

TBF, if this was over the span of 12 months then this was a few months after he initially started protesting

I don't agree with Colin Kapernick and think that he's full of shit, but I'm glad he's giving his money to various causes that he cares about. There's no way I can criticize the guy for that.

This is the difference between conservatives and liberals. Liberals will fully dedicate themselves to hating people and refuse to acknowledge the good things they're doing (just like they're doing with Trump)

and even DE, one of the most obvious pro-Trump gimmicks on here, is able to compliment the good things Kap did despite the politics. meanwhile, a few others couldn't even do that much.

Good for him. I followed this intially for the first couple of months.

I really like how it wasn't just all these 100k donations, but smaller ones aimed at a lot of grass-roots organization.

It's just too bad dude's not that great of a qb. I wonder why he never tried transitioning like Pryor?

Colin Kaepernick is a great QB. Hes better than the Eagles QB, Nick Foles, whos playing in the Super Bowl this weekend.

While both have led their respective teams to a superbowl berth, Foles is clearly the better slated qb. Kaepernick is/would be great as a gadget player (much like, but way better than, Percy Harvin (sp?)), but as far asqb metrics go, Foles has him beat hands down.

I still stand my question, why has Kaepernick not shifted to another position? He's athletic enough that he could pull it off.

Nick Foles is a career journeyman and backup quarterback.

Colin Kaepernicks average salary over the past few seasons was about $14 million per season Nick Foles peaked around $6 million a few years ago and made $4 million in 2017.

The fact remains Colin Kaepernick is a more talented quarterback, and the money that he was paid was for his elite skill set as a mobile quarterback who can pass from the pocket or on the run.

The Eagles would be a better team with Kaepernick instead of Foles.

I sure do hate it when those people (Conservatives), don't like what we like.

He is American Hero for taking some time off from his busy work schedule, to do stuff that he alone thought of... and definitively not any large group of grumpy social justice warriors who might also receive said monies.

a sad projection of fragility from somebody who has stated on more than one occasion that he doesn't think Black people contribute much to the nation.
