RadioOnFire.com - Last week, Colin Kaepernick revealed that he did not vote in the 2016 presidential election. Now, a report has surfaced saying that the San Francisco 49er was never even registered to vote. The report noted that Kaepernick turned 18 in 2005, but did not manage to register according to records from the California Secretary of State. Kaepernick also didn't register while he was attending school at the University of Nevada, which means he did not participate in the 2008 and 2012 elections that placed Barack Obama in office.
Kaepernick gave a quote to reporters this past Sunday about his voter status, saying "I said from the beginning, I was against oppression, I was against the system of oppression. I’m not going to show support for that system. And to me, the oppressor isn’t going to allow you to vote your way out of your oppression.”
