I am majoring in sports communications at High Point. I have wanted to have a profession in sports since I was little. I always wanted to be a sports journalist but in freshman year I drifted more towards wanting to interview players and make inspiring  videos about different players. I would love to mainly focus on Football, Hockey, and Baseball players. My goal is to bring more of an identity to these players. If you know their background, where they're from, how they got to where they are today then it makes it more than just a game.

Now, not only are you rooting for your team but also rooting for different players on other teams which puts a greater relationship between players and fans. Teams social media accounts are great for getting to know the players and the team more. They also keep updates of the games and post highlight videos for those who might not be able to watch it live. followers get to see them in the locker room, hear their speeches they give to each other to hype them up for the game. This builds a stronger and more emotional relationship for followers.

In a preseason same in 2016 Kaepernick sat during the national anthem. Kaepernick tells NFL media. " I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color." At that time the league had responded by saying standing up for the anthem was encouraged but not required. The NFL was initially behind Kaepernick and his form of protesting for unarmed  black men being murdered by police officers and white supremacists. The first regular season game many players on different NFL teams begin to kneel or raise a fist along with Kaepernick. These members would be the early adapters, the ones who were there to support him right away no matter the consequences.
