If I remember correctly, that was a defense of being involved in the Vietnam War. When protesters opposed the war, the battle cry was "Love It or Leave It." That proved to be a foolish expression as the Vietnam War was based in lies to the American people where over 50 thousand American lives were lost.
Colin Kaepernick has every right to protest. I may cost him personally and it may effect the outcomes of his team, but, he has the right to express himself in any way the First Amendment allows.
I suggest the coach, manager and owner put him in the game. There is no law that protects those that punish him.
Colin Kaepernick is within his right as an American to free speech. Heck, flag burning in protest is allowed, too. (click here)
He certainly seems to believe in self expression by the number of tatoos alone.

...It‘s unprecedented. (click here) On Sunday afternoon Kaepernick had what observers thought was the longest press briefing with Niners’ media of his five-year career—18-and-a-half minutes—to double-down on the statements he made to Steve Wyche of NFL Media on Friday night. Kaepernick will continue to sit during the national anthem, as his protest of the way blacks are treated in America, even if it costs him dearly as an NFL player. And he hammered away at police, and the training of police, and police brutality. “You can become a cop in six months,” he said by his locker at the Niners’ training facility, “and you don’t have to have the same amount of training as a cosmetologist. That’s insane. I mean, someone that’s holding a curling iron has more education and more training than people that have a gun and are going out on the street to protect us.”
