The Movement is an episode of Family Guy.

Synopsis

When Peter starts coaching for Quahog's minor league baseball team, he gets constipated during the national anthem and must kneel, unintentionally becoming the face of racial justice.

Plot

Beer Bar Buddies Being Racist

When Carter's new minor league baseball team needs a coach, he puts Peter in charge. But when he tries to fight back a bout of diarrhea after indulging in a shrimp promotion prior to the national anthem, he is forced to his knees which is interpreted as a protest against police brutality. However, he is also hailed as a hero for speaking up so he tries to enhance his activist standing. Lois ties to discourage his stunts but is thwarted when Peter is given a paid position from Nike for speaking out.


Peter Hires Meg for Baseball

While signing autographs at Quahog Sporting Goods for Nike, Carter confronts him over dropping ticket sales due to his commercial and knocks him out with a baseball bat, causing him to have a 'Marvel's Black Panther-type' experience hosted by Cleveland in Waquahog. There, he is also treated as a hero for speaking out, but they also touch a nerve about him doing it for the right reasons. Before another game, he is warned by Carter not to kneel, but decides to speak up, admitting that he really wasn't an activist, but also proposes making "The Hamster Dance" the new national anthem.

Back home, they decide to check in on Meg home Peter traded to American Dad!. When she tries to take Stan's place in the opening credits, she is told by both Stan and Roger to shut up.

Peter: [narrating a Nike commercial] How do you know what's inside of you unless you test yourself? Don't do one pushup. Do one hundred. Don't run one mile. Run a marathon. Don't have one family. Have a second family all the way across the country. Don't just have a second family. Have a third family in Santa Fe with an alternative lifestyle. Don't spend any time with the first two families. Make a commitment to family number three. Double down by announcing it at his war hero father's retirement party. Don't go to the funeral cuz remember, you've got two other families to deal with and a marathon to train for. Don't let Kenneth walk out of your life. Take his life from him. Don't just go to jail. Go to death row by killing the two other families. Don't just let anyone have their closure by apologizing. Send a message that you're not afraid of Hell.
