This School Doesn’t Play National Anthem so Players take Matters into Own Hands
When NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick chose to sit during the national anthem while in uniform, he stood out from the rest of the standing crowd, and not in a good way, according to many people who were outraged at what they viewed as a clearly public display of disrespect.
A freshman football team in Flint Township had just the opposite experience and has been applauded for their decision to go above and beyond in order to take a literal stand against a decision not to play the national anthem before the game.
When the Lapeer Lightning’s freshman football team was told by the host team announcer that the national anthem would not be played before their game, they a bold stand on the sidelines and began to sing, despite there being no music.
The young men weren’t afraid to show their patriotism in front of a crowd.
