Former 49ers backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick might not have played in Sunday night’s Super Bowl, but he did celebrate the pinnacle of the National Football League’s season by raising money for a group named after convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur.
The Washington Times reports that as part of his post-football career Kaepernick has been raising money for a variety of progressive causes through a program called Million Dollar Pledge. Some of the groups are innocuous, such as pro-education organizations and campaigns to help get kids off the street after school, but at least one, Assata’s Daughters, has more concerning roots.
