   The U.S. Navy SEALs are investigating after video surfaced from   
   a fundraiser last year in Florida that showed a K-9   
   demonstration using a “Colin Kaepernick stand-in.”   
      
   The video — which was posted last January, but went viral this   
   weekend — shows what appear to be Navy SEAL dogs attacking a man   
   wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey during a demonstration.   
      
   A second video shows the dogs taking the man in the Kaepernick   
   jersey down. Finally, after the dogs are pulled off, the man in   
   the jerseys said, “Oh man, I will stand.”   
      
   Laughter ensued from the crowd, clearly taking his statement as   
   a joke regarding Kaepernick’s protests during the national   
   anthem.   
      
      
   Kaepernick first started kneeling during the national anthem in   
   2016 while he was with the San Francisco 49ers. He hasn’t played   
   in the league since that season, and received immense backlash   
   for his protest — which was used to bring attention to social   
   and racial injustice in the United States.   
      
   That form of protesting has taken off in recent months, with NBA   
   players and coaches, Major League Baseball players and both MLS   
   and NWSL players participating in their respective season   
   restarts. Countless NFL players have already committed to   
   kneeling during their season this fall, too.   
      
   Launching a full investigation   
   The Navy SEALs announced on Sunday that they have launched a   
   full investigation into the incident, which took place at the   
   national Navy SEAL Museum near Fort Pierce, Florida.   
      
   After condemning the incident, the organization said it believes   
   that none of the people participating were active duty Navy   
   personnel.   
      
      
   “We became aware today of a video of a Navy SEAL Museum event   
   posted last year with a military working dog demonstration,” the   
   SEALs said in a statement. “In the demonstration, the target is   
   wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey. The inherent message of this   
   video is completely inconsistent with the values and ethos of   
   Naval Special Warfare and the U.S. Navy.   
      
   “We are investigating the matter fully, and initial indications   
   are that there were no active duty Navy personnel or equipment   
   involved with this independent organization’s event.”
