[Headlines] (LW-정치/사회/경제) Nike’s New Deal with Kaepernick Debated on Social Media
최고관리자  |  18-09-10 10:21

A business deal between Nike and former American football star Colin Kaepernick is creating a flood of debate online. Kaepernick became famous for starting a wave of protests among National Football League players of police brutality, racial inequality and other social issues. The protests involve not standing during the singing of the United States national anthem. It is often played before the start of sporting events. Before a game in 2016, Kaepernick remained seated for the anthem. At later games, he placed one knee on the ground. His move inspired some and angered others. Soon, several other NFL players began to kneel. Opponents said the protest act disrespected the country and its military service men and women. Supporters say the protest targets a lack of social justice in the country and has no connection to the military.
