CBS clarifies after saying Colin Kaepernick would stand for anthem
Jason La Canfora
Jason La Canfora  said in a series of tweets on Sunday that  he  was relaying previous reporting about Kaepernick and did not ask whether the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback would sit or stand during the anthem when  he  spoke about  his  interview with the player during a pregame show.
The reversal came after anchor James Brown asked  La Canfora  on “The NFL Today”: “And kneeling   he  said?”
 La Canfora  responded: “ He ’s not planning on kneeling.  He ’s going to donate all  his  jersey sales and  he ’s planning on standing for the anthem if given the opportunity  J.B.”
La Canfora tweeted later that  he  does not know what Kaepernick would do during the anthem.
Relying on unnamed sources  ESPN reported in March that Kaepernick would stand during the anthem if  he  played again. But Kaepernick has not spoken publicly about what  he  would do.
After La Canfora backed off  his  earlier report  Kaepernick tweeted: “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on ” attributing the quote to Winston Churchill even though some scholars have said the quote was not said by the former British prime minister.
According to CBS   La Canfora  sat down with Kaepernick  his girlfriend and his trainer on Saturday night.  La Canfora  summarized their conversation but the segment did not air any comments directly made by the player.
 La Canfora  said  his  “primary takeaway” was that Kaepernick’s sole focus is on being a quarterback. Kaepernick does on-field work and throws hundreds of passes for several hours a day at an undisclosed location in New Jersey   La Canfora  said.  La Canfora  said Kaepernick also trains in a gym and spends part of his days working with youth in Harlem.
