Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s decision to sit down during the national anthem feels intentional and important. They are undoubtedly two of America’s most influential celebrities, and to carry on Kaepernick’s legacy in front of thousands, if not millions, of Americans on one of the most anticipated nights in American culture was a powerful move indeed.
