For example, Colin Kaepernick’s kneeling and Naomi Osaka’s wearing masks with Black victims' names during matches have raised awareness. Additionally, organizations like the NBA and WNBA are promoting civic engagement and social justice initiatives, translating their platforms into action against systemic racism.
