===In sports===
In modern times, sports protests have become increasingly significant, causing more people to take notice. Sporting protests can be about any number of things ranging from racial justice to political wrongdoings.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Kaufman |first1=Peter |last2=Wolf |first2=Eli |title=Playing and Protesting: Sport as a Vehicle for Social Change |journal=Journal of Sport and Social Issues |date=February 16, 2010 |volume=34 |issue=2 |pages=154–175 |doi=10.1177/0193723509360218 |s2cid=144155586 |url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0193723509360218 |access-date=23 October 2020}}</ref> Some of the most prominent sports figures being Tommie Smith, Jhon Carlos, Muhammad Ali, Jackie Robison, Colin Kaepernick and Billie Jean King have all pushed forward change by this method of protest. However, the majority of people don'tdo not believe sports and politics belong together, saying, "Most of us who love sports want to forget about politics when we watch games.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Zirin |first1=Dave |title=A People's History of Sports in the United States: 250 Years of Politics, Protest, People, and Play |date=Sep 9, 2008 |publisher=The New Press }}</ref>" Nevertheless, this statement can still be controversial since others believe that sports athletes should use their platform and wealth to encourage change. Either way protesting in sports is an important form of protest that has gotten significant media attention and has caused significant change throughout modern times.
During a sporting event, under certain circumstances, one side may choose to play a game "under protest", usually when they feel the rules are not being correctly applied. The event continues as normal, and the events causing the protest are reviewed after the fact. If the protest is held to be valid, then the results of the event are changed. Each sport has different rules for protests.
