“Game of Thrones” gave us “bend the knee.” Colin Kaepernick showed us the meaning of taking a knee. My favorite sports journalist Dave Zirin has always reported on the intersection of sports and politics, and this is right in his wheelhouse. His new book, “The Kaepernick Effect: Taking a Knee, Changing the World” examines how Kap’s private protest turned into a global cry for justice, pointing a finger directly at the horrific treatment of Black men and women at the hands of police. Dave joins in at the :30 minute mark. Before that, the latest news, and sadly, it’s not very good.
