In recent months, Colin Kaepernick's protest has propelled the NFL athlete into the public eye. A hero to some, an 'entitled jerk' to others, Kaepernick's protest has evolved from sitting on the bench during the national anthem, to kneeling on the ground while it's sung.
Athletes around the nation have taken up Kaepernick's cause at pro, college, and youth levels. This project aims to investigate the reach of Kaepernick's protest, the width of its influence, and its place within the history of athletic protest. |
