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 compiled a 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.
