Above is a photo of benched 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s practice socks, which feature the image of a pig in a police officer’s hat.
Kaepernick has worn the anti-cop socks at least as early as Aug. 10, when AP’s Ben Margot took several photographs of the quarterback during a team practice. Though it had been weeks since AP published the photos, at the time this article was first posted Kaepernick had not been asked about the socks. However, when images of the “pig cops” socks went viral today following the publication of this report and others, Kaepernick posted a response on Instagram defending his decision to wear them.
