Recall, in 2016, the American football player gained fame outside the National Football League, refusing to get up during the execution of the American anthem before the beginning of one of the matches. Instead, the football player demonstratively sank to his knee. Thus, Colin Karennik decided to protest due to the cruelty of the police in relation to African Americans - one of the most acute problems of American society of the last few years. A similar footballer repeated more than once:
Capernik launched the Take a Knee campaign ("Stand on the knee") to draw attention to systematic racism and cruelty, manifested by the police against the black Americans. In May 2017, after this scandal, the football player remained without a team.
Without a team - does not mean without work: recently Colin starred in advertising Nike
In addition to Rihanna, who refused the NFL, to support Kapernika publicly also decided and Emi Sumer - she stated that he would not be filmed in commercials, which are broadcast annually during the super-apex, as a sign of football player support. Recall, in 2019, the 53rd Super Cup will play in the match on February 3.
