Colin Kaepernick was in the house for Game 2 of the WNBA semifinals last night between the Las Vegas Aces and the New York Liberty. And the former NFL quarterback was treated to quite a reception from the fans inside the Barclays Center.

While sitting courtside for the game — which the Liberty won, 88-84 — Kaepernick appeared on the jumbotron during a break in the action and was treated to a surprisingly warm reaction.

As he waved to the crowd and smiled, fans behind Colin Kaepernick could be seen cheering loudly for the highly-controversial athlete and activist.

We’re not sure exactly who Kaepernick was cheering for in this matchup, so we can’t say for certain whether he left the game a happy man or not.

Colin Kaepernick’s NFL Comeback Pursuit Continues

It’s been almost a decade since Colin Kaepernick last played in the NFL. We last saw him go 1-10 as the 49ers’ starting quarterback back in 2016. Since then, Kaepernick has been unable to land a spot on an NFL roster, thanks in large part to his strong political stance.

During that 2016 season, he sparked mass controversy across America when he kneeled during the national anthem in response to instances of police brutality against people of color. The act rubbed many people the wrong way, until the point where no NFL team wanted anything to do with the polarizing quarterback and the attention he brings.

Despite being away from the game for so long, Kaepernick continues to stay in shape in hopes of getting one more shot at playing quarterback in the NFL. It remains a long shot, but that won’t stop him from trying.
