Gold Star mom Amanda Jacobs has criticized former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick—who said recently that an older version of the American flag was offensive—during an emotional speech at the U.S. capital, saying that her son, along with other fallen heroes, had given more than “any athlete has ever given.”
“When I look at this country today and I tell people, and I’ve wanted to say this loud so many times, Colin Kaepernick was getting paid $14 million dollars a year to throw a ball,” Jacobs told the audience during an anti-socialist “Rally for Freedom” on July 4.
