Examples of Colin in a Sentence

  1. Roger Goodell:

    This was... about creating an opportunity, which Colin's representatives came out in early October and we created that opportunity. It was a unique opportunity -- an incredible opportunity and Colin Kaepernick chose not to take it. I understand that. And we've moved on here.

  2. Rus Yusupov:

    Since Colin and I founded the company, we really set out to develop this network of live interactive shows on mobile phones, we've gotten our groove over the past two years and building out these building blocks. We believe that we can grow new audiences and get new types of players through the new formats.

  3. Anna Isaacson:

    We have been working in the social justice space now for several years and we really amplified and doubled down on our efforts in the past year, we launched Inspire Change in 2018 and even before that, sort of after Colin Kaepernick raised these issues, he and along with other players, the league really decided to dive in (because) these are not just issues that NFL players are dealing with, but these are American issues that we should have a role in helping. And so since that time, we’ve really been working in the space.

  4. Republican Rep. Jason Lewis:

    Another thing the media is ignoring that's the return of race riots in America, in Chicago, in Philadelphia, and all across the fruited plain, there is a racial war going on, remember when we interviewed Colin Flaherty, author of a White Girl Bleed A Lot, where Colin Flaherty documents, from Minneapolis to Portland to Miami to Philadelphia, the violent racial crime that's going on, and most of it black on white, but the media choose to ignore that as well. Now, no one can discount the horrible legacy of slavery. No one can discount the sin of America's past -- but the chances today, and I want to be clear about this, I know it's provocative, but I want to be clear -- the chances today of a gang of KKK members beating up a black kid are remote compared to the opposite. A gang of black on white crime.
