Georgia cheerleaders to protest anthem in stadium tunnel
Yahoo and AP ^ | 16 Oct 17 | AP

A group of Georgia cheerleaders say they'll take a knee in the stadium tunnel when the national anthem is played at Saturday's homecoming game since their university moved them off the field after an earlier demonstration.

Kennesaw State University cheerleader Shlondra Young tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the so-called "Kennesaw Five" will kneel until the U.S. flag "represents what it should."

The cheerleaders say they've paid attention to the nationwide debate over NFL players kneeling during the anthem, and they prayed before doing so at a Sept. 30 game.

Cobb County Sheriff Neil Warren tells The Marietta Daily Journal he called the school president after that game and was assured the demonstration would not happen again.

School officials say they moved the cheerleaders off the field before games to "improve the fan experience."

I assume the protest will go on forever then or do these Einsteins have an exit strategy?

You know, if we elected a black president, all this racial divisiveness would probably disappear.

Don’t let the school or the ACLU find out that you prayed in public.

Even the pro-kneeling football establishment mocked Tim Tebow for praying.

Exactly what does that mean? What will the country look like when their goals are achieved?

Most of these people have been given breaks on their entrance exams or they wouldn’t even be in college. They are replacing a more worthy applicant. What are they complaining about?

I see a token stander (for “unity”?) supporting a kneeler.

When all the white players/cheerers are gone, they’ll replace the kneel with the fist.

I’m in full support of the “Kennesaw Five” and I hope that their effort to kill Blackball will be successful.

“Exactly what does that mean? What will the country look like when their goals are achieved? “

Those are the questions they should be asking themselves and that we should be asking them.

Apparently, it will go on until “the U.S. flag represents what it should.” In other words, it will go on until there is another black Democrat President elected.

And judging by the size of that crowd in their huge stadium, these almost-community-college drama queens wouldn’t have gotten any notice at all if they didn’t call the press ahead of time...

What exactly are they protesting or want America to change to fit their views? They make the this offensive demonstration but have nothing to back it up. At least have a clue.

I am wondering if we simply have too many morons in the US today.

Perhaps whites need to start raising both arms in fists to protest the illegitimacy rate of children born in the US.

Or how about the number of 3rd generation welfare Democrats?

“What am I doing here with these people”—look on the faces of the white chicks.

Just say’in.
