Colin Kaepernick is one of the most prominent figures in sport, due to his activism on race- and class-related issues within and outside sports.

Being such an influential figure hasn’t been without controversy, in 2017, after playing for the San Franciso 49ers since 2011, Kapernick was left without a contract and has remained unassigned since. His protests against racial injustice, brutal police officers, systematic oppression and racism in America led to Kapernick's release. The protests of his father led to increased pressure from politicians like then-President Donald Trump who demanded that NFL owners fire players who kneel during the national anthem.

The symbol of taking the knee has become a powerful symbol in the fight against racism. This has led to a wide range of sporting events adopting the position as part of their pre-game routines.
