Russo has sent out a series of tweets over the last couple of days about Kaepernick's stance, even saying he "[brought] shame to the very country & family who afforded you so many blessings."
@Kaepernick7 There's ways to make change w/o disrespecting & bringing shame to the very country & family who afforded you so many blessings.

Some have criticized Russo for her tweets, with one woman saying that giving her son up for adoption was "giving up."
@DrTMG Never said standing up for injustice is wrong. Clearly there's a problem. Don't twist what I said to make a racial point.

@Erricka88 PLACING my son for adoption is NOT giving up. It's giving him the life he deserved & love beyond comprehension. Congrats 2ur son.

Today, Russo responded to critics again.
Hmmm, so if I disagree w/ someone, i.e. My 12 yr old, 6, 3, husband or Colin, that equates to not loving them? Ha! Seriously? #THATSCRAZY
