Bigger than sports: Identity politics, Colin Kaepernick, and concession making in #BoycottNike
作者：
Highlights：
• Little research explores whether & how social media users accept alternative points of view.
• Colin Kaepernick is a former NFL player who protests police violence against Black people.
• We use tweets about Kaepernick to identify ‘concessions,’ or users rethinking their point of view.
• We engage 2 million + tweets and identify user and usage characteristics related to concessions.
• We discuss these results in light of protests against police brutality against Black people in 2020.
