INDIANAPOLIS — It's been two years since San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick first knelt during the national anthem to raise awareness for racial injustices and police brutality.
In those two years, a handful of Indianapolis Colts players have joined in Kaepernick's protest.
But more than a handful of players have participated in the team's efforts for social justice.
To commemorate the two years since Kaepernick's kneeling, Sports Illustrated recently compileda list of what every NFL team has done for social justice during that time.
Here's a snapshot of what the Colts have done, via Sports Illustrated:
The Colts announced their “Breaking Barriers” social-justice campaign in August. They have partnered with local police officers to host a youth football camp during training camp; donated bicycles used during camp to kids in the OK Program, a mentoring program for African-American young men aged 12 to 18; and worked with the Indianapolis-based Peace Learning Center and local police to train teens in problem-solving and conflict resolution. Money from the Players’ Action Fund, created last season, was donated to the Marion County Juvenile Detention Center; the team also created a Social Justice Club Fund, for the leaguewide player/team matching program.
Antoine Bethea, a safety with the Arizona Cardinals, met with Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to discuss criminal justice reform. Bethea played for the Colts from 2006-14.
