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

Posted on 10/16/2017 5:45:53 AM PDT by SkyPilot

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."

What more can be said about a group of N-words and white trash?

From the article, it looked as if Kennesaw was in the Atlanta area. If so, those who know Georgia would know by no means does Atlanta represent the rest of Georgia.

"A group of Georgia cheerleaders say they'll take a knee..."

I'm sure this would not be new posture for them.

Looks like they need five new cheerleaders.

Of course it’s not like there is an ocean of prospective cheerleaders who would do anything to get on the team.

Oh, wait. Yes there is.

Soon they will be relieved of their cheerleading responsibilities, and they will be able to focus on their academic studies.

Miss Young’s picture should be made into a poster for EVERY SINGLE possible future employer she might apply to can have that poster on the wall.

Sorta like a ‘Wanted” poster in the days of Josh Randall—The Bounty Hunter...

IF I were still hiring & firing, I would print this picture out & make sure that she never got a position that I had control over.

Notice how this story was picked up and taken viral by the AP wire service. This means it went worldwide.
