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.
