Thank goodness Colin Kaepernick doesn’t play women’s hockey.
(Though, given howdesperatehe’s been to get back into sports, he’d probably be willing to give it a whirl.)
Because if Kaepernick — who’s perhaps most infamous for kneeling for “The Star-Spangled Banner” before NFL games as a form of protest — had been on the 2026 U.S. women’s hockey team, American viewers may have been robbed of one of the best moments of the Winter Olympics.
Team USA won the gold medal in women’s hockey, beating their archrival Team Canada in overtime.
“Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world.”

During the medal ceremony, every American female hockey player was standing, arms linked, and proudly singing the national anthem.
It was a refreshing change of scenery from the usual politics that have seeped into sports — and you can view the moment for yourself below:
