This volume provides a concise but authoritative overview of the
NFL national anthem protests and the fierce debates they have
sparked about patriotism, constitutional rights, military service,
police brutality, and social justice. This book in the 21st Century
Turning Points series is a one-stop resource for understanding the
people and events changing America today. This volume is devoted to
the NFL national anthem protests, which have triggered both fierce
condemnation and spirited defenses since August 2016, when San
Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick first refused to stand
for the anthem to bring attention to the issues of social injustice
and police brutality. NFL National Anthem Protests not only surveys
the events that led to Kaepernick's decision but also traces the
fallout from that choice-the decision by other players to join him,
the angry response from some NFL fans and President Trump himself,
and the frantic efforts of the league to keep the controversy from
consuming the NFL. The book also uses those events and responses as
a vehicle for deeper examinations of all of the issues they have
raised, including the nature of peaceful protest, the place of the
flag in American life, the constitutional parameters of free
speech, and the facts about police brutality and racial
discrimination in America. Features entries devoted to specific
events and milestones Profiles highlight the contributions of
important activists and other figures Explores the lasting impact
of the Kaepernick's protest on American life Provides a
bibliography of sources for further study
