A lynchpin of the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce, has earned accolades and admiration for his prowess on the football field. But on this particular game day, Kelce captured headlines not just for his plays, but for his decision to kneel during the U.S. national anthem. This gesture, while simple, carried a loaded message about racial inequalities in America. A message that came with a substantial price tag.

Yet, as the anthem’s melodies echoed through the stadium, Kelce’s singular act of kneeling overshadowed all other narratives.
His action was reminiscent of the stance taken by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, in 2016 — a protest against racial injustices and police brutality in the United States. And just as Kaepernick’s kneeling divided opinions, so too did Kelce’s.
