Kaepernick's girlfriend denies report QB will stand for anthem if signed

Colin Kaepernick's girlfriend Nessa Diab is calling out a report that the unsigned quarterback would concede to standing for the national anthem if he joined a team.

After CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported that Kaepernick is "not planning on kneeling" during the anthem, Diab released a statement refuting the report.

The reports that Colin will stand for the anthem are completely false! He has never discussed this with anyone. pic.twitter.com/tWusUBJMeF

La Canfora attempted to walk his report back, tweeting that he didn't actually ask Kaepernick about sitting or standing during the anthem, though he clearly relayed the message earlier in the day.

The reporter's story was also called into question by radio personality Charlamagne Tha God, who states that La Canfora was not granted an interview with Kaepernick, rather coincidentally running into him in a hotel lobby.

Everybody simmer down. We live in a strange world. 1) Colin never spoke to CBS, 2)This reporter Jason Lancafora didn't do an interview with Colin he randomly bumped into him in a hotel lobby, 3) Jason Lancafora said in these tweets he didn't even have a convo with Kaep about kneeling so how in the hell is everybody running with a story about Kaep not kneeling and Kaep never said that??? FAKE NEWS. "Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear especially if it's on the internet." -Uncle Charla Allan Poe (swipe for his tweets)
