Miles James is an all-star African American quarterback at a predominantly White Ivy

League college. He’s projected to be a Number One draft choice with an opportunity to make

millions of dollars. He learns about the 3rd verse of the Star Spangled Banner and considers it

racist and offensive to African-Americans. He wants to use his platform as a star athlete to bring

national awareness to this issue. Is he willing to suffer the consequences of his actions?
