Over the past month, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has become the most polarizing figure in American sports. His protest of systematic racism has become one of the hottest topics across the country.
The New York Knicks could soon join Kaepernick with a team-wide protest of the same issues that continue to plague the United States of America.
The Knicks are a team flush with outspoken individuals who haven’t let social injustices go on without making their voices heard. Thus, it’s encouraging to know that the front office is prepared to support their players.
According to Ian Begley of ESPN New York, general manager Steve Mills hopes to see the Knicks take part in a unified group protest.
