“NFL anthem protests continue with raised fists, T-shirt slogans” The movement of NFL players kneeling during the national anthem is a symbol of peaceful protesting. It does not symbolize a rebellion, it instead serves as the way to get the point across that the people will not stand for the social and racial injustice done to other citizens of this country. The action bears no disrespect to veterans or any other patriot who has fought and/or died for the United States. In the article “NFL anthem

This past week, I experienced that firsthand when we protested in the lobby about Antigone. I also became aware of how difficult it is to protest well. From coming up with catchy slogans, to standing up against extremely devoted opposition, and to reflecting about the experience, I realized that there is much to protest than just holding signs. In the end, it became

unless people present others with works of protest. There are many methods of protest, and everyone of them has the ability to bring change.
