Other fans crafted a Kaepernick dummy doll, which they took turns tackling. According to The MMQB, one fan screamed, "Tackle the Muslim," before a woman took a run at the effigy.
Kaepernick - the face of the expanding movement that is intended to shine a spotlight on police brutality against minorities - had been benched all season, but at 1-4, Chip Kelly turned to the QB who led San Francisco to the Super Bowl following the 2012 season. When he actually took the field, he was lustily booed. One fan screamed, "Your parents don't even like you" - a possible reference to his birth mother disagreeing with his stance.
Fans then chanted "USA! USA" before the national anthem was played, for which Kaepernick again took a knee.
When the dust settled the Bills moved on with a 45-16 win and Kaepernick's protest remaining as complex an issue as ever.
