Khalilah Ali Offers To Help Colin Kaepernick Muhammad’s second wife — the one who still harbors quite a bit of bitterness over his constant cheating 50 years later — is speaking out on Colin Kaepernick’s decision to use his position as a star athlete to make a statement for the treatment of African Americans in the US.
