Colin Kaepernick Hasn't Watched NFL Games in Eight Years

Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, revealed at the Wall Street Journal Tech Live Conference that he hasn't watched an NFL game in eight years, coinciding with the last season he played. Despite his lack of viewership, Kaepernick still checks player stats to stay informed about the league, as he continues to train daily, hoping for an NFL comeback. He emphasized that his disinterest in watching games stems from a refusal to support a league that he feels has excluded him. Kaepernick's last appearance in the NFL was in January 2017, and since then, he has been focused on his tech startup, Lumi. While he maintains aspirations to return as a player, he denied interest in a coaching position despite previous discussions with Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh. Kaepernick's journey reflects ongoing tensions regarding his past protests and his desire to contribute positively to a team.
