Since 2016, there have been a number of political protests, but none more widely known than the national anthem protests. In the last few days of the 2016 NFL season, Colin Kaepernick was the first to kneel for the national anthem, sparking outrage from many NFL fans, according to SBNation.
Over the past couple of years, no one NFL player has created more controversy then Colin Kaepernick. From kneeling for the national anthem, to suing the NFL for collusion against him, Kaepernick has caused more controversy than any one NFL player ever in its history.
Athletes alike protested of not just police brutality against African Americans but also in protest of the President of the United States’ remarks towards the NFL and those who kneel.
