Postures of Piety and Protest: American Civil Religion and the Politics of Kneeling in the NFL
Over the past ten years, athletes Tim Tebow and Colin Kaepernick have become famous for kneeling on the NFL football field. However, public reactions to these gestures varied significantly: Tebow's kneeling spawned a lightly mocking but overall flattering meme, while Kaepernick's stoked pu...

| 520 | |a Over the past ten years, athletes Tim Tebow and Colin Kaepernick have become famous for kneeling on the NFL football field. However, public reactions to these gestures varied significantly: Tebow's kneeling spawned a lightly mocking but overall flattering meme, while Kaepernick's stoked public controversy and derailed his NFL career. In order to interrogate these divergent responses, this article places the work of sociologist Robert Bellah and philosopher Michel Foucault in dialogue. It argues that spectator sports are a crucial space for the negotiation and contestation of American identity, or, in Bellah's terms, civil religion. It then draws on philosopher Michel Foucault's concept of the docile body to explore the rationales behind and cultural reactions to the kneeling posture. I argue that Tebow and Kaepernick advance divergent civil religious visions within the "politics of the sacred" being negotiated in American life. In this process of negotiation, American football emerges as both a space for the public cultivation of docile bodies and a crucial forum for reassessing American values and practices. | ||
