Abstract

The article reports on the protests of athletes against racial and social injustices during the singing of national anthem in football stadiums and high schools in the U.S. which fueled debate over how the country defines patriotism. Issues discussed are the alleged act of defiance by San Francisco 49ers football team quarterback Colin Kaepernick by kneeling as the national anthem was played during a game in protest of the fatal shootings of African Americans by police and racial violence.
