Colin Kaepernick is now the most disliked player in the NFL.Thats at least according to a recent poll of Americans by E-Poll Marketing Research, which asked 1,100 people whose demographics were representative of the general population.The poll, taken last week, revealed that Kaepernick was disliked a lot by 29 percent of those polled, more than any of the more than 350 players asked about in the survey. Kaepernick finished ahead, in the dislike category, of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (22 percent), Miami Dolphins defensive end Ndamukong Suh (21 percent), New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (13 percent) and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (10 percent).In August 2014, the last time the poll was taken, Kaepernick -- fresh off leading the San Francisco 49ers to the NFC Championship Game before losing to the Seattle Seahawks -- was only disliked a lot by 6 percent of the population.The overall negative sentiment for Kaepernick is even higher among NFL fans. Today, 36 percent say they dislike him a lot, up from just 10 percent when last asked two years ago.While results of the poll show Kaepernick being more disliked by the general population, much of that has to do with the fact that African-Americans only make up 15 percent of the U.S. population. Kaepernick hasnt been standing during the national anthem to show his displeasure with the treatment of African-Americans by police officers.Among African-Americans, Kaepernick has never been more popular. The poll shows 42 percent of African-Americans now say they like the 49ers quarterback a lot, while only 2 percent dislike him a lot. Two years ago, only 16 percent of African-Americans said they liked Kaepernick a lot, while 3 percent disliked him a lot.Much of the change in sentiment comes from how Caucasians feel about him.Two years ago, only 7 percent of Caucasians said they disliked Kaepernick a lot. Last week, that number had jumped to 37 percent.As Kaepernicks actions were focused on, sales of his jersey skyrocketed to the best-selling jersey in the league for a couple days in the beginning of the month.Jersey sales represents a metric which shows how he has inspired a number of people who show support by opening up their wallet, said Gerry Philpott, CEO of E-Poll. There is no counter-metric that you can use for those who he has alienated or had never heard of him before, other than the sentiment we measured.Kaepernicks highly publicized stand has obviously made him more relevant, even though hes the backup to Blaine Gabbert?and isnt getting time on the field.Only 24 percent of people said they knew his name two years ago. Last week, 42 percent of those polled were familiar.

CHICAGO -- White Sox general manager Rick Hahn came up with a catchy phrase to describe his teams disappointing season.Chicago is 1-6 in the second half, tumbling to fourth place in the American League Central standings and 7 1/2 games back in the wild-card race. Since the White Sox had the second-best record in the majors at 23-10 on May 9, they have gone 23-39.Weve been wrestling with being a couple games over, a couple games under .500 for the last few weeks. Were mired in mediocrity, Hahn said Thursday before the White Soxs 2-1, rain-shortened loss to the Detroit Tigers. Thats not the goal. Thats not acceptable. Thats not what were trying to accomplish for the long term. It may well be a decent turnaround in a short period of time, but the goal was to put ourselves in a situation to win a championship.Hahn said the White Sox have ruled out adding short-term rentals through trades, but they are otherwise open-minded to altering the team.Were looking for multiyear fits and the ability to put us in a stronger competition to compete, ideally for this year, but certainly as important, if not more so, for the long term, Hahn said.The White Sox (46-49) continue their four-game series against the Tigers on Friday night.Right-hander Michael Fulmer -- a candidate for American League Rookie of the Year -- will take the mound for Detroit in his first career start against the White Sox. Fulmer is 9-2 with a 2.13 ERA overall, 7-1 with a 0.83 ERA in his last 10 starts. The 23-year-old allowed two runs in a career-high eight innings against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.ddddddddddddI dont think his heart rate changes, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus told the Detroit Free Press.The Tigers (50-46) are 4-3 after the All-Star break and four games back in the AL wild-card race.White Sox right-hander Jacob Turner (0-1, 18.00 ERA) will start Friday. Chicago purchased his contract on Sunday from Triple-A Charlotte, where he was 4-7 with a 4.71 ERA in 18 starts. He is filling in for left-hander Carlos Rodon, who went on the disabled list earlier this month due to a sprained left wrist.Turner allowed eight runs and seven hits in four innings Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels in his first major league start of the year.Obviously, you work hard to get back here, and you appreciate any opportunity you get, Turner said after the outing in Anaheim. From that standpoint, you realize all the work you put in to get back here. But you have to go out there to win the game and to execute pitches, and there were too many pitches today I didnt execute.Turner will be facing his former team for the first time -- Detroit drafted him ninth overall in 2009. He was 1-2 with an 8.28 ERA in six starts with the Tigers in 2011 and 2012.I had a lot of good memories there, Turner said. I obviously made my major league debut there, so Im always grateful for the opportunity they gave me in professional baseball, but I dont think at this point in my career theres anything extra in pitching against them.
