"He's been vilified by millions and locked out of the NFL -- all because he took a knee to protest police brutality," the magazine's cover story reads. "But Colin Kaepernick's determined stand puts him in rare company in sports history: Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robinson -- athletes who risked everything to make a difference."

Yes, because nothing says 'citizen of the year' like opting out of your contract and being unemployed. 2016 at least would have made more sense.
