Problem
Read "Taking a Knee with Colin Kaepernick" and "The Politicization of Everything". This discussion is geared towards Unit 3's synthesis essay. Please answer in complete sentences and reference the text to support your claims. Answer the following question:
The Wall Street Journal article argues against "the politicization of the NFL and the national anthem", while Capehart defends Kaepernick by saying that "political considerations must take a backseat when character is a stake". How is each author using the concept of the "political"? To what extent do their usages overlap? First define each author's use of the "political", then compare and contrast their views.
