It's official: Nobody likes Colin Kaepernick.

E-Poll Market Research polled 1,100 Americans and discovered San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is the most disliked player in the NFL.

Of the 1,100 participants, 29 percent marked "disliked a lot" in response to Kaepernick, who has repeatedly made headlines for his silent protests against social injustice during the national anthem. Compare that to just two years ago when a similar poll found only six percent marked "disliked a lot," and it's easy to see his popularity has rapidly declined.

Behind Kaepernick in the "disliked a lot" category was Jameis Winston at 22 percent, Ndamukong Suh at 21 percent, Tom Brady at 13 percent and Ben Roethlisberger at 10 percent.

It's clear Kaepernick's protest against social injustice has negatively impacted his popularity, but according to the NFL star, his stance is about more than just football.

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," he said after the game. "To me, this is bigger than football, and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

What would you mark on a poll for Kaepernick?
