San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick knelt again yesterday as the national anthem played before his team faced off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, continuing his protest against injustices toward minorities and inspiring others to follow.
Miami Dolphins running back Arian Foster began kneeling during the pregame anthem on Sept. 11 and has been a vocal supporter of Kaepernick ever since. “I don’t even think the song should be our national anthem, because it’s a racist song, if you look at the other verses of it,” he told VICE News correspondent Jay Caspian Kang.
Even some high school football players have participated in the protest. “I think it’s a beautiful thing,” Foster said.

Being a deep thinker is a great gift as it allows you to delve into the very essence of things and be more conscious.

Here are some struggles that only deep thinkers can relate to:
1. Feeling of detachment
2. You have no interest in mainstream culture and popular activities
3. You have a profound frustration with modern society
4. Others confuse you for being arrogant/weird/absentminded
5. The necessity to solve everyday problems can be a real challenge
6. Periods of introspection and causeless sadness
7. Lack of understanding
8. It can be difficult to get out of your head and return to reality
