Yes, It Is A Big Deal

From: yahoosports.com

...for an NFL QB to wear another team's gear out in public.

Colin Kaepernick, QB of the San Francisco 49ers, wore a Miami Dolphins hat to a July 4th party last week.  I've seen various columnists and pundits say this is no big deal, but it is.

I used to bite my tongue when my students would claim to root for one team and then show up for class with another team's gear on.  I'm as big a sports fan as anybody, and only the teams I root for have a place in my closet. I don't even wear swag from my former employer anymore.  What if a member of the Bloods decided to wear blue one day because it went with his jeans?
