Former NFL star Colin Kaepernick made a rare public appearance on Sunday, when he was honored by the ACLU of Southern California. The organization invited Kaepernick to its annual Bill of Rights awards gala where he and other stars such as Gina Rodriguez, Jane Fonda and Judd Apatow were honored for their work this year. ACLU Southern California’s executive director, Hector Villagra, said that was because of the numerous threats that Kaepernick has received. Kaepernick, whose arrival was met with thunderous applause from those in attendance, took the stage for a brief speech. Later in the evening, Fonda yielded some of her speech time to talk about Kaepernick.
