National Football League player Colin Kaepernick Kaepernick, when the American national anthem was played in a preseason game in 2016, he did not stand with his right hand across his chest and stood at attention. Instead, he knelt down on one knee to protest police violence and discrimination against black people in the United States. This attracted many people to protest. Trump also cursed and asked the team owner to fire the player. The price of this protest was that he was kicked out of the American football competition, but he also became famous for it.
