San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick didn’t receive a warm reception before Thursday night’s exhibition game against the Chargers at Qualcomm Stadium.

San Diego is known for having one of the strongest military presences in the country, so Kap was walking into the lions’ den, and he got booed as a result.
