decision to take a knee. But sports do not exist in a vacuum; like art, politics, music, and every other thread that make up our culture, sport is woven inextricably into the life of this nation. Which means our national life always bleeds into the sports pages—especially when the basic rights, and even the lives, of athletes and their families are what’s on the line.
