Foster has been outspoken about his support for Kaepernick in the past.
I understand 100 percent what he’s doing,” Foster said. “He’s frustrated, just like me. He’s just like my brother. He’s just like my cousins out there. He’s frustrated. It’s hard seeing people get murdered and killed without repercussions.”
Foster continued: “I speak my mind. I’m active in the communities. I try to educate young brothers that are in gangs and victims of what people don’t understand — this is a systemic problem that’s been going on for generations.”
The Miami Dolphins quickly released a statement.
