The unsportsmanlike conduct incident happened after Kaepernick threw a fourth-quarter interception that contirbuted to his San Francisco 49ers losing to Chicago, 28-20. He allegedly used the n-word, according to both referees on the field and Bears defensive end Lamarr Houston.
Kaepernick can’t seem to escape fines for different reasons. He was hit with $10,000 for wearing Beats by Dre headphones instead of those of league sponsor Bose. He covered up the Beats “B” logo with tape in his post-game press conference following the Week 6 Monday night win in St. Louis to avoid another fine
As he’s also appealing that $10K, he could see even a little more back in his wallet soon.
