The crowd at the New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces matchup cheered when former quarterback Colin Kaepernick appeared on the Jumbotron at Barclays Center.

Growing up Colin Kaepernick had never envisioned himself as being labelled as a Civil Rights activist and only desired to be a footballer.

Kaepernick has been vocal about his desire to join an NFL team, sending messages to squads, posting videos of him training and making it known that he believes he's still in football shape. Back in August, Kaepernick mentioned that he was still full steam ahead on staying ready.
