San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who refuses to stand for the National Anthem, has revealed that he did not cast a vote Tuesday. That did not sit well with sports analyst Stephen A. Smith. "My primary beef," Smith said, "is that he made all of this noise about racial injustice, and you have to follow through! The one thing that empowers individuals in the United States is the power to vote, so how in God's name could you not exercise that right when people have fought and bled and died for you to have that right? A lot of us black folks feel the system could better serve us, but he came across as a hypocrite. He not only did not vote, but he made that public, which encourages young people to avoid voting!"
