SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is well aware of how his decision not to participate in the recent presidential election while promoting a message of change has been received.Asked Tuesday why he opted not to cast a vote for measures beyond the choice of a president, Kaepernick offered a familiar response in taking aim at the system and stating his belief that voting isnt the only way to make a difference.I thought a lot of different things about the process and what I could and couldnt do, Kaepernick said. Once again, the system of oppression is what I have an issue with.Theres more than one way to create change.The Sacramento Bee reported this week that Kaepernick, who has knelt during the national anthem in protest of racial inequality and oppression all season, has actually never been registered to vote in California or in Nevada, where he attended college.Kaepernick did not confirm that hes never been registered but again pointed to his feelings about the voting system when asked about not registering to vote now or in the past.Once again, I addressed that, I continue to address it, I dont agree with the system of oppression and thats something I will continue to not agree with, Kaepernick said.In the run-up to the 2016 election, Kaepernick repeatedly made it clear he didnt approve of either President-elect Donald Trump or Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. On Election Day, Kaepernick said he would not be voting and followed through on that promise.On Wednesday, Kaepernick told Arizona reporters on a conference call that it didnt matter who won the election because neither candidate was a good choice.On Sunday, Kaepernick said he felt it would be hypocritical for him to vote because it would be the equivalent of showing support for a system he doesnt believe in. He also said the choice of Trump should increase the urgency for everyone to work toward solutions to make the system better.I think everybody should feel urgency to make sure that were doing the right thing, building things the right way in order to be able to protect ourselves from what may come from this, Kaepernick said.When asked whether he believed the reason for so many no-shows to the voting booth were because many feel the same way as him, Kaepernick said he wasnt sure.You would have to ask them that, Kaepernick said. I dont want to speak for anybody or put anybody in a situation where I am not representing them properly so I really cant say.Kaepernick has previously pledged to donate $1 million and any proceeds from the sale of his jersey to groups that can help the causes hes working for and he recently held a Know Your Rights camp for kids in Oakland that provided guidance on a variety of topics, including education, fitness, money and interacting with law enforcement.

LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Colin Kaepernick threw dozens of passes on the side during the 49ers joint practice Thursday with the Denver Broncos, signaling the quarterbacks return from a sore passing shoulder.The throws were the first on the practice field in a week for Kaepernick, whose competition with Blaine Gabbert for the starting job had to be put on hold after tightness in his right shoulder forced him to rest his throwing arm.Kaepernick also took part in individual quarterback drills and conditioning. However, coach Chip Kelly said Kaepernick would be eased back into full participation in practices and ruled him out for Saturday nights exhibition game against the Broncos.Kelly said the plan outlined by the teams medical staff in consultation with Kaepernick called for the quarterback to ramp up his practice participation next week with the notion of getting playing time in the teams third exhibition at home against Green Bay on Aug. 26.Theyre easing him back into throwing right now, Kelly said. In talking to him, he says he feels really good. But we dont want to throw him back out there and then have a setback. From what we understand, its not a long-term thing but were just getting him back into it. Thats the plan, to see if he can, so that hes a full go to get ready to play the following week.Kaepernick started by throwing passes of about 10 yards to assistant equipment manager Doc Dressler. Running back Carlos Hyde also came over to catch a few passes from Kaepernick, who later stretched out his throws to about 25 yards.Throughout the various side sessions and distances, Kaepernick was throwing tight spirals with plenty of zip. His participation in individual footwork and dropback drills was strong annd crisp.dddddddddddd.The team had Kaepernick back off his passing work after he experienced shoulder soreness following practice on Aug. 10.Gabbert was expected to start against the Broncos on Saturday night with Jeff Driskel also seeing time.Christian Ponder, signed earlier this week to bolster the teams quarterback depth, also was expected to see action.The 49ers lost quarterback Thad Lewis to a season-ending knee injury in their exhibition opener last Sunday against Houston.Ponder was out of the league last season after being released in training camp by the Oakland Raiders.Hes got to knock the rust off a little bit but for the first time out there, he did a good job, Kelly said of Ponders initial practice with the team Wednesday. Obviously, if we get him in the game Saturday, it will be limited in terms of, `What do you feel real comfortable throwing? What do you feel real comfortable running?Game notes Hall of Famer Charles Haley has been on the practice field with his old team working with the 49ers pass-rushing linebackers. Hes really been an invaluable tool for us, Kelly said. Theres a tremendous amount of knowledge that he has and he has had tremendous success in this league. ... If he can impart some of that on our young guys, we want to have him around as long as Charles wants to be around. ... The 49ers wrapped up a second day of joint practices with the Broncos. Tempers flared several times between the teams but the skirmishes between players were quickly brought under control.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
