In the event that UNE athletes, express any type of political statement during game or any political activity that affected the reputation of University of New England. For instance, athletics “take a knee” during the game while wearing the UNE uniforms. What’s the best alternative to reduce the impact? The president of the institution should be caution on his/her responses, because the coming responses will tremendously affect the general public which include the domestic and international students, staff members, parents, local communities and potential global communities and most importantly the reputation that can bring future student. IF the senior Leadership decide to restrictedly regulate any form of political protest in the campus then citizens in this free nation may not like this decision therefor such action will only intensify the problem. IF political protest Is not regulated, then it will eventually diverse the students which will only bring more chaos to the campus and to the name of the institution. When stable learning environment has been disrupted, it will affect students overall adamic performance and experience. Students legal guardian, parents, their primarily concern are always the safety of their children. False to meet such simple expectation will fundamentally damage the reputation of your school. The primary goal is to prevent that from happening. That been said, failed to manage public relation properly in anyway will be devastated.

Sports and politics have long history of interfering with each other. With the platform they have, they are trying to bring the public tension to things that they believe that it’s not right. Just couple years ago, Colin Kaepernick take a bold move on achieving what he believes is right during the anthem before the football game, he took a knee which in other’s eyes who believe is the symbol of the country. It creates divide within the nation with two side that holds completely different believe. The ideology from one side is that it’s a common action that most individuals use to shows respect to meaningful rituals by standing up. Refuse to so, in this case, taking a knee during the national anthem means disrespect to the army and those who have fought to protecting it in the history. Furthermore, they believe that athletics should just focus on sports itself and leave the politic to politicians. In those voice, a typical example will be President Trump who speak up multiple times in public with aggressive words criticizing even insulting Colin Kaepernick on “taking a knee” during national anthem. NFL fans were also one of the group of people that got affected the most. A lot of fans even threaten to never watch NFL again. The other believe that citizen of united states have the right express the idea and believe. Therefore, they should not be criticized and punished for it. Most importantly a big portion among them believe that Colin’s intension was positive which are addressing police brutality against African American. When people being asked about what’s their opinion on this event. One of them mentioned that his father and brother in law have both served in the army and did not fell ant kind of disrespects from Colin other protesting athletes. In the other hand, he indicates that the president use this “blowout” to attract citizens attention in order to cover his political failure. After 2016 Colin Kaepernick has remain unemployed until this day.
