Should professional athletes be protesting?

Sometimes you have to take a knee in order to truly stand for something. That’s what many American football players have done recently when the national anthem is performed prior to NFL games.

Sometimes you have to take a knee in order to truly stand for something.

That’s what many American football players have done recently when the national anthem is performed prior to NFL games.

The act is a form of protest against racism and police brutality, a trend that picked up steam last year when quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat down during the anthem.

Donald Trump and others have claimed this is an insult to flag and country, while others say they’re just exercising their right to free speech. Should athletes stick to sports?
