WASHINGTON -- White Americans by large numbers disapprove of athletes protesting during the playing of The Star-Spangled Banner, according to a new poll. Black Americans approve of the protests by even wider margins.Some athletes have been refusing to stand during the national anthem as a protest of the treatment of blacks by police. The Quinnipiac University poll showed that the younger the person, the more likely he or she is to approve of athletes not standing or taking a knee.The poll, released this week, showed that white Americans of all ages disapprove of the protests by a margin of 63 percent to 30 percent. Hispanic Americans disapprove of the protests by a smaller margin, 45 percent to 36 percent.However, black Americans of all ages approve of the protests 74 percent to 17 percent.There is a profound racial divide over athletes who refuse to stand for the national anthem, said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.Athletes around the country have been either kneeling or sitting during the national anthem to call attention to what they perceive to be police brutality and racial discrimination in the wake of black men being shot by police in various parts of the country.
