Colin Kaepernick protest: Trump tells NFL player to quit US



NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick should "find a country that works better for him" said Donald Trump after the player's national anthem protest.
The Republican presidential nominee weighed in on the San Francisco 49er's decision to sit during The Star-Spangled Banner in a pre-game ceremony.
Mr Kaepernick said he will continue to sit out the national anthem until he sees improvements in US race relations.
Mr Trump called the quarterback's controversial stand a "terrible thing."
"I think it's a terrible thing, and you know, maybe he should find a country that works better for him," Mr Trump told KIRO radio in Seattle. "Let him try. It won't happen."
Mr Kaepernick, 28, stirred controversy on Friday when he sat during the national anthem before the San Francisco 49ers played the Green Bay Packers in an exhibition game.
The National Football League (NFL) player refused to stand in protest at the oppression of people of colour in the US, he said
