It is possible that Kaepernick was aware that he would incur penalties for his behavior, yet he nevertheless made the change. Wearing Apple’s Beats in defiance of the penalties, Kaepernick tweeted, “I support breast cancer awareness! My grandmother is still alive! Some things have now taken on significance, as evidenced by his Instagram story.
