A civil rights group plans to protest musician — and possible Michigan Senate

 candidate — Kid Rock’s upcoming Detroit concerts, claiming that views held

 by the rocker on NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, coupled with his support

 of President Donald Trump, are “the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

The National Action Network’s Detroit chapter on Thursday called for the 

cancellation of Kid Rock’s — who’s real name is Robert Ritchie — series 

of concerts as the opening act for the new Little Caesars sports arena in Detroit.

The National Action Network — a civil rights group founded by Rev. Al 

Sharpton  — has taken issue with Kid Rock’s support of Trump, the 

appearance of Confederate flags during some of his concerts, and

 attacks against national anthem protests.

The Des Moines Register reported that during a concert last month in Iowa,

 Kid Rock told fans that “football’s about ready to start,” and added, “You know

 what? F*** Colin Kaepernick.”
