Colin Kaepernick thrust himself into the role of political activist last week with his decision to sit out the national anthem before a preseason NFL game. Following that, he held a press conference, where he said he would not "stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppressess black people and people of color."

While it may have been Kaepernick's first public foray into politics, San Francisco Chronicle senior political writer Joe Garofoli says that the quarterback already may have a lesson or two to teach the presidential candidates and some California politicos too.

Hilary Clinton, he says, could stand to hold a press conference to answer questions, just as Kaepernick did. Donald Trump on the other hand could learn to explain things, like his immigration policy, more clearly, like Kaepernick has.
