Mixing the most polarizing athlete in all of sports with the most belligerent fan base in such is not the best combination, but with Colin Kaepernick making the start today vs the Bills in Buffalo, that’s exactly what happened.
Prior to the start of the game, Bills fans took a break from breaking tables and took turns tackling a dummy dressed as the 49ers QB, all while flipping it off and shouting racial slurs at it.

Along with noted instances fans using racial slurs outside the stadium, Bills fans also were spotted selling shirts in protest of Kaepenrick’s protest.
