U.S national anthem protests (2016-present)
 * 1) Everything in the article relates to the anthem and individuals protesting during the anthem. However, it only relates the topic to sports, and does not reference any other group opposing the anthem. What distracted me was the writer only demonstrated the negative feedback people got from these protests/acts.
 * 2) The article is not neutral. By claiming that the anthem protests offended a lot of other people, and not speaking for the opposite side, it fails to stay neutral.
 * 3) The viewpoints overrepresented are those of that speak badly of the protest, and the underrepresented are the voices that actually believe in the justice of the movement.
 * 4) Yes the links work and the source supports the claim.
 * 5) The information is mostly linked to the current issues on the NFL and uses the other side sports as cushions for the NFL topic.
 * 6) They go against a lot of the article, and think that the topic is misrepresented, and only speaks for a few people in America.
 * 7) This article reads to one of the readings in class about kneeling and social justice behind protests.
 * 8) This article speaks more about the harm, in class we talk about how it is good but people take it the wrong way.
