Last season, Colin Kaepernick’s movement to silently protest social and racial injustice spread across the league, and created a national dialogue. Things peaked early last season, Kaepernick has yet to play in the league since the furor arose, and yet everything had mostly died down until the NFL dug it back up last week.
Regardless of where you stand on the protests Kaepernick helped to create, which became in the national media coverage as much about the national anthem as the injustices the players were first focused on, we can likely agree that there are indeed issues to be tackled in our society.
