SANTA CLARA (KRON) — San Francisco 49ers quarterback continued his protest Monday night and took a knee during the national anthem prior to the game.

His teammate Eric Reid joined him.

Kaepernick has made it known that he will continue to kneel during the anthem until there is change in the way minorities are treated in the United States.

The 49ers are hosting the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium in their first game of the season.

San Francisco will take on the Panthers in Carolina next week in their second game.
