Colin Kaepernick finally got his first start today for Chip Kelly’s 49ers, eventually throwing his first touchdown pass in 364 days. While the 49ers were ultimately destroyed by Lesean McCoy and the Bills, another equally as ugly site was seen outside the stadium before the game, where the anti-Kaepernick movement was in full display.

But you can’t have yin without yang, so many of those in support of Kaepernick also showed up to counter the hate and disturbing demonstrations against the 49ers QB.
