Colin Kaepernick has a legacy in the football world.
He is determined to get back on the field, saying he still trains religiously.
Kaepernick was born on November 3, 1987, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (viaAmoMama).
He was born to a 19-year-old mother who cared for him for six weeks before placing him for adoption.
Teresa recalled the day Colin was adopted.
“The minute I picked him up, I just cried.
We gave her [his mother] a big hug.
And she needed a couple more minutes.
And then we left.”
As of this writing, the two haven’t been together since she gave him up for adoption.
That hasn’t stopped her from weighing in with her thoughts on his protest style.
I just never agreed with the manner in which he chose to do it."
She made it clear just how much she disagreed in tweets to her biological son.
The couple launched their own organization to help fight social injustices.
The organization also seeks to support the next generation’s leaders.
The pair have a strong relationship.
“It’s liberating when you love people,” Diab toldPaper.
“It’s liberating when you want to see goodness happen because you love them.
And if I can’t do it with him, I don’t want to exist here.”
