Joe Theismann was not impressed with the 49ers' decision to give quarterback Colin Kaepernick the organization's Len Eshmont Award, presented to the player who "best exemplifies the inspirational and courageous play of Len Eshmont, an original member of the 1946 49ers team."
The former Redskins quarterback appeared on Fox News' "Outnumbered," where he ripped into the reasoning behind giving Kaepernick the team's most prestigious award voted on by players.
"You're a 2-14 football team; he's won one football game. What has he inspired?" Theismann asked.

Theismann also said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell needs to make a stand on players honoring the national anthem and adopt a policy similar to that of the NBA, which requires all players to stand during the anthem.
"I don't agree with what he's done," Theismann said of Goodell. "As a matter of fact, the American flag ... stands for the right to be able to do the things you want to do, to be able to stand up and have a difference of opinion. I agree with that part of it, but not when you're on the job."
Kaepernick has sparked controversy throughout the 2016 season, kneeling during the national anthem to protest racism and other civil rights issues in the United States.

The 49ers stood behind their quarterback, but many have found the action disrespectful and counter to what the American flag stands for.
Count Theismann as one of those who isn't a fan of Kaepernick's actions.
