SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been a backup before and now that hes No. 2 on the depth chart again, hes biding his time for the next chance to play.I have to wait my time and work, Kaepernick said Wednesday. Ive been in this position before. Last time I was in this position, I ended up in the Super Bowl, so I continue to work and prepare for when that next opportunity comes.Kaepernick entered the 2012 season as the backup to Alex Smith but took the starting job after Smith suffered a concussion midway through the season. The 49ers went on to come up just short in Super Bowl XLVII against the Baltimore Ravens.Much has changed for Kaepernick and the Niners in the time since. Kaepernick began last season as the starter but ended up on injured reserve because of a shoulder injury. Blaine Gabbert replaced Kaepernick for the final half of the season.After coach Chip Kelly took over, he declared an open competition for the starting job between Gabbert and Kaepernick. With Kaepernick working his way back from shoulder, thumb and knee injuries, Gabbert took most of the reps in the spring and it happened again during training camp when Kaepernick suffered from right shoulder tightness.Kaepernick appeared in the final two preseason games but Kelly named Gabbert the starter on Saturday, citing Kaepernicks need to get more work in his offense and to get back to his normal playing weight.Thats ultimately Chips decision, Kaepernick said. All I can do is focus on myself at this point and make sure Im getting better.I think I will continue to improve and continue to get into my stride. Its really only been about a month since Ive been on the field, so theres still some progressing to do, still some strength to get back, but Ill continue to work.Kaepernick also plans to continue to work to raise awareness of racial oppression and other social issues that prompted his protests during the national anthem. Kaepernick sat during the anthem the first three preseason games and took a knee with safety Eric Reid before the exhibition finale.After that game in San Diego, Kaepernick pledged to donate the first $1 million he makes this season toward helping organizations he believes can make a difference. He said Wednesday that hell also donate the proceeds from the sales of his jersey to those same causes.Kaepernick said he has spent time this past week talking to different activists and leaders around the country.Ive had a lot of conversations with [them] about how to address your issues practically and what reasonable solutions that we feel can be implemented, whether its legislation or in the community, and make sure these changes are happening, Kaepernick said.Kaepernick also acknowledged the support President Barack Obama offered to him on Sunday.Hes someone that also realizes there are many issues that need to be addressed and need changing in this country, Kaepernick said. The initial shock of what the protest was about and the significance of that was lost in the action and the message wasnt really addressed. I think that was great that he came out and supported the message that we do need to make changes in these areas.In a media session that lasted about eight minutes, Kaepernick also addressed internet gossip that he had converted to Islam and discussed how his relationship with girlfriend Nessa Diab has led to a lot of conversations about important topics.I have seen that and I havent [converted], Kaepernick said. I have great respect for the religion, I know a lot of people that are Muslim and are phenomenal people, but I think that comes along with peoples fear of this protest as well as Islamophobia in this country. People are terrified of them to the point where [Donald] Trump wants to ban all Muslims from coming here, which is ridiculous.This is an open discussion that I have with many people and not just my woman. She is Muslim, her family is Muslim. I have great respect for them, I have great respect for peoples right to believe what they want to believe. I dont think anybody should be prosecuted or judged based on what their beliefs are. adidas ultra boost schuhe .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. adidas ultra boost schuhe schweiz .

Fernando Alonso has refused to blame Sebastian Vettel for failing to make it into Q3, saying he simply was not quicker than 14th during qualifying at Hockenheim.After being eliminated from the middle session, Alonso was heard complaining about losing massive time to a Ferrari, which McLarens response confirmed to be Vettel. The Spaniard had shown encouraging pace throughout the weekend but said he only lost a fraction of time behind Vettel at the end of his key lap.I dont think I would have made it into Q3, but there was a Ferrari going into the pits, I did two corners behind it and lost a couple of hundredths, Alonso said. It wouldnt have been enough to move into Q3 so I dont want to complain about anything: I was 14th because I was the 14th quickestt!I hit a kerb quite hard, I think I probably went over a bit of dirt and lost a small part of the car, but that was nothing much.dddddddddddd I had done a 16.3s in the first lap and I managed a 16.1s in the last one, so I didnt lose much time with that.Alonso will actually start 13th after compatriot Carlos Sainz serves a grid penalty. The Spaniard thinks gaining positions at the start will be key to finishing in the points.Well try to get into the points, improve from where well be starting. Well try to gain some places off the line, because to gain points tomorrow we need to make places right from the start of the race. ' ' '
