Colin Kaepernick's revelation Tuesday that he has received death threats through "a couple different avenues" took many by surprise - including the San Francisco 49ers and local police.

Amid his national anthem protest, the quarterback said he didn't alert team security and he's "not too concerned about it."

"I can confirm that to this point we haven’t received any reports and aren’t investigating any allegations of threats against Mr. Kaepernick,” Captain Wahid Kazem, spokesperson for Santa Clara (Calif.) Police Department, told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday. Santa Clara is the area of jurisdiction for Levi’s Stadium — home of the 49ers — as well as the team’s training facility.

In a statement to USA TODAY Sports, the 49ers confirmed that they weren't aware of any threats until Kaepernick told local media Tuesday.

"The safety of our players, staff and those who visit our facilities are of the utmost importance," said Bob Lange, spokesperson for the Niners. "We investigate and evaluate any and all security threats and act accordingly."

When asked if extra security measures would be taken to ensure Kaepernick's safety, the team replied: "We do not share the particulars of our security practices and protocols."

Prentice Danner, spokesperson for the FBI’s field office in San Francisco, told USA TODAY Sports that Santa Clara police would be the lead investigating agency for any threats.

“We have our ear to the ground and we are aware of the situation,” Danner said. “We are aware of the situation. We don’t have anything yet. That’s not to say something won’t come down that we'd pursue.”

During the preseason, Kaepernick began kneeling during the national anthem, a move he said is meant to draw attention to racial inequality and police brutality.

The protest sparked national debate, with many criticizing Kaepernick for a perceived disrespect of the flag, country and military.

“It’s something they either don’t care about it or they don’t understand it, which I find it very hard that people don’t understand what’s going on,” said Kaepernick, who was taunted by fans during Sunday’s loss to the Carolina Panthers. “I think the message has been out there loud and clear for quite some time now."

With his career in the toilet, he needs attention and something to else he can claim discrimination on then the 49ers cut him!

Ppff... more antics from a media whore. Of course he told the press & not the police, he is desperate & paid to keep the momentum going. So stupid people believe this is about race.
This guarantees it.

And after all his comments against the police, they probably would of laughed at him, if he would of called them. (And then said to each other 'he should of called the Muslim brotherhood & Farrakhan).

Maybe.. with making this claim to the press, he can't or won't be charged with filing a false police report.

Hummm...I wonder... does he want the State of California's flag? How about San Francisco? You can bet on it.

He may end up being, "The boy who cried wolf,"


Colin Kaepernick: Protests National Anthem & US Flag -

Exactly.... Funny how suddenly his poor performance in the preseason games isn't being talked about...
I have to give him credit he or someone behind him is smarter than I thought. Now to release him the 49'ers would looked Racist..

So he is giving 100,000 a month for the next 10 months ummm that works out less than 10% of his gross income for the year for just one source of income.Really that isn't a lot.

My Vote is pony up the evidence that he has received these so called death threats... And have ppl make sure they aren't back dated...

I dont' believe anything he has to say.

I remember when he came under my radar as a QB, it that a couple of years ago I thought hey this is a great stand up guy got some talent!... I want to watch him develop over the next few years as soon as the old coach was gone, he has been a hot mess on the field. He struck me as a one hit wonder and a dive to boot. And now I just see someone desperate to hold onto a career that is actually mediocre at best. Sad really what some will do to gain fame.

While I don't like death threats, it is VERY suspicious that he went to the media and not security or the law.

Seriously.....did anyone expect any less???

Sure all are welcome to their opinion but there is a way to make a difference then disrespecting those that Honor the Flag and gave their lives for it..

Is it right no.... but again he went about it the wrong way.... Guess he is against the Police too for he would not even turn over evidence if he has any...Instead he wanted more attention and went to the Media

Colon Kaeperbltch attention whoring again I see....

Maybe her & her 2 brothers will support him when he is broke and official has-been. (Yea, that will happen).

of the millions of people who hear any news about anyone in any given moment

some of them make threats in cyberworld ? ur joking?,,,lol

I honestly don't think kaepernick sat kn protest, I think he just got so used to sitting on the bench he forgot how to get off it

claimed to who?


I love how hardly any report explains what happened IN CONTEXT, or what was asked or said BEFORE he made this claim


and if he isnt trying to press charges, he doesnt have to bring forth anything

who says he did?

Has anyone seen the alleged comment in context, or are we just grabbing on to headlines?



I mean did he call a press conference to share this? or was he being interviewed and was specifically ASKED about whats happened in response to his protest?

Then why mention it to the media except for attention?

good question

perhaps someone will post the WHOLE conversation so the question can be answered,,,,,

and we will know if he actually is the one who 'brought it up'

there is a big differnce between someone revealing something and someone having brought it up


if someone asks me if I was ever the victim of a crime, I could tell them someone attempted to rape me

that would be a REVEAL, but it would have been brought up by the person who brought up crime


Im asking for enlightenment from those making a claim as to how they are concluding the claim is true with the limited information provided

so what? humans dont present evidence everytime they answer a question about something that happened to them


the persons claiming he is guilty of 'bringing it up' should show the conversation,,

I never made the claim

""While bb]Colin Kaepernick says he’s seen positives emerge from a racial-equality movement sparked by his national-anthem protests, he’s also received death threats as a result.
“I’ve had a few come my way, but not too concerned about it,” Kaepernick said Tuesday inside the 49ers locker room.
Asked if those threats have come only through his social-media channels, Kaepernick responded: “Couple different avenues.”""

...on top of that, here's the attn whoring deluxe.....

""Kaepernick said he does not alert team security in the wake of such threats, because, “to me, if something like that were to happen, you’ve proved my point and it will be loud and clear for everyone why it happened, and that would move this movement forward at a greater speed than what it is even now.""

Wanna be martyr fantasy lil bltch....

Oh, and link for those non googlers....

There....straight from the horse azzes mouth for the Kaepernick nut huggers who only care because they're Blm booty buddies....

again with the BLM, I swear it seems an obsession

this still doesnt reveal anything but what he SAID, not what was said or asked before he spoke,,



and would reporting it not also get him attention?

so whats the griping over?

Ikr? You should see a shrink about that....


He could say it DIRECTLY to you and you'd still deny it.

Here:



....spin away.

no, cause then Id know what ELSE Was said,, wouldnt I?
