Athletes across the country have been sitting or kneeling during the national anthem in recent weeks to protest police brutality and racism. But a football game in Washington, D.C. may mark the first time a squad of cheerleaders has taken a knee during the song.
Cheerleaders at Howard University joined a national protest on Saturday afternoon by kneeling during the anthem at the AT&T Nation's Football Classic at RFK Stadium.

Here's how Virginia Tech Basketball Coach Buzz Williams explained the national anthem controversy to his team: Honoring Our Veterans Every Time We Hear Our National Anthem.
Caution: It's impossible to watch the video without getting a lump in your throat!
Sheep.
This shite has got to stop.
This is all at the feet of the most divisive pResident ever. Obama is smiling now........but I pray that Trump can heal the divisions in this country. Hopefully, the long national nightmare will be coming to an end soon.
An irony to me is that kneeling is a more overtly worshipful gesture (anyone familiar with church liturgies should know that) than standing and saluting.
We have no one to blame but ourselves for allowing liberals to take over our institutions of learning.
agreed..........
it’s a total trickle down & infectious where it does not , nor should not be....
Route all their 911 calls to the NAACP.
And who’s up in arms demanding a stop to THIS kind of hate?
That’s how the MSM reports the scenario...
They should segregate themselves. Really, no one is stopping them.
It certainly wouldn’t break my heart.
This kneeling/sitting stuff is no good.
Patriotism shouldn’t be just a white thing. United we stand, divided we fall, as the saying goes.
Now, Obama can portray himself as a pioneer—remember the picture of him standing with his hands folded in front while other politicians placed their hands over their hearts?
Hey. At least they are on their knees. (And not in front of either Clinton worshipping their democrat idols this time.)
Is it because Jonathan didn’t look like Obama’s son?
I noticed the cheerleaders were all in formation...LOL...Looks like it had been practiced...
Yes it must stop I agree but how? I do not know. I do not have the answer .
But I will tell you they are wasting a lot of time
in their personal/ professional life and the MSM
focuses on this type of behavior as if it’s worthy
of a knighthood.They have neither the character nor
compunction . It’s a sort of temporal, localized
brainwashing isn’t it? Would you not agree?
I could make some snide and sexist remark about their morals being on their knees. . .but I won’t.
