Six-panel collage. Top panel, a burning car and a line of people at night, text: "Why can't you protest peacefully??" Each next panel repeats "...no, not like that." Panels show a Black Lives Matter march banner, football players kneeling, a basketball player at a press conference, an awards speech, players in "I Can't Breathe" shirts, and a "Hands Up Don't Shoot" sign.
