Time will tell whether the «hands-up» gesture that five St. Louis Rams made during pregame introductions on Sunday, Nov. 30, 2014, will leave a lasting memory or simply go down as a come-and-go moment in the age of the 24-hour news cycle. Either way, it certainly isn’t the first time high-profile athletes have used their platform to make political statements. (AP Photo/LeBron James via Twitter, File)
