Kennesaw State Cheerleader Sues Officials over National Anthem Protests
The Atlanta Journal Consititution ^ | September 7, 2018 | Eric Stirgus

A Kennesaw State University student has filed a lawsuit accusing university and elected officials of violating her civil rights during a dispute over her decision and other cheerleaders to kneel during the national anthem at football games last year to protest police brutality and racial discrimination.

Tommia Dean, a sophomore, said in her complaint, filed Wednesday, that the officials conspired against the cheerleaders by keeping them off the field during the anthem after the first protest. She accused two elected officials, Cobb County Sheriff Neil Warren and state Rep. Earl Ehrhart, R-Powder Springs, of attempting to stop the protests because of her race. Dean and the other cheerleaders who protested are African-American. Ehrhart and Warren are white.

The university later reversed itself and allowed the cheerleaders on the field during the anthem.

Colin Kaepernick is still an idiot, and so are all the lemmings who followed his example. Do your "protesting" on your own time.

What if she wanted to run out in the middle of the field stark naked and hold up a big “Look at Me!!” sign during the anthem to protest police brutality? Its all just attention-seeking behavior.

It’s good to get her name out there. No company will ever hire her.

“No company will ever hire her.”

Maybe ten years ago that would have been true.

They should get rid of cheer leading all together. I'm sure the feminazi’s find it demeaning to women anyway. It looks like there's a few linebackers in that picture.

Wonder what the little -itch would say about freedom of speech and civil rights of the white cheerleaders if they brought out a BLM flag and stood on it while she knelt during the anthem.

That would be hate speech and therefore not allowed. Everything the libs don’t like is hate speech, naturally.
