Two Victory & Praise Christian Academy football players were kicked off the team for protesting during the national anthem at a game Friday night.
Cedric Ingram-Lewis raised his fist while cousin Larry McCullough knelt during the anthem ahead of the team's game against Providence Classical.
After the anthem ended, head coach Ronnie Mitchem instructed them to take off their uniforms and kicked them off the team. Mitchem is a former Marine and pastor who started the church-based football program in Crosby six years ago.
Ingram-Lewis, a sophomore, said the topic of protesting had come up in the locker room before and his cousin McCullough, a senior, even announced he would kneel via social media. The coach had told players he did not want anyone to kneel, citing his service in the military.
"He told us that disrespect will not be tolerated," Lewis said, recalling the moments after the anthem ended. "He told us to take off our uniform and leave it there."

And how long until we start spitting in the eye of anyone who says that?
The Ames Brothers...1953? Love that song!
We’re they starters?
Did they win?
Hahaha. Losers. They’ll be spitting in white peoples’ food in the future at a MickeyD’s.
Looks to me like they are looking around for somewhere to stick their finger! Like in each others rear end! lol
They look like gang members from Watts.
They can sue away and they will. Who cares.
To the baby mamas of these two ex-players: you should have raised your sons to be respectful to the flag and the national anthem. Your sons were clearly warned. Actions have consequences.
Maxine Waters-level-stupid, or like the dumbest congresswoman in the USA, from her town of Houston, Cynthia McKinney-level-ditzy!
Agree, but if they were kicked off the team, isn’t that permanently?
I went to school with lots of guys like this. Huge opportunities put in front of them and more than enough ability to take advantage of them. All of them are now either in jail or have been killed in shoot outs.
The raised single index finger means "There is but one God and Muhammad is his messenger."
One of Obama's favorite gestures.

I’m sitting here wondering about the last names.. The kid has two (Ingram-Lewis), yet neither of them match his mother (Brady)..?
Lewis mother? Where's daddy? Where's uncle?
I like "expiring rappers".
Didn’t the coach clearly explain what the rules were to be on the team? The little snowflakes might have learned a lesson except mommy has screwed that up.
Product of a culture and upbringing that always blames someone or something else for their failures. This mother by her actions has done her son no favors.
I think they are just pointing at the idiot.
