Well,
this was refreshing to read. From Legal Insurrection:
Kneeling during the national
anthem has taken the sports by storm since San Francisco quarterback Colin
Kaepernick began it during preseason to protest police treatment of black
people. Other NFL players have done it along with high school football players.
But Virginia Tech basketball
coach Buzz Williams will not have that behavior in his house. Instead, he chose
to show his players why we stand for the national anthem. We do it to honor the
men and women who sacrificed so much so we can enjoy our freedom at home.
There’s
a 4½ minute video of coach Williams on the website. Various versions have been up on YouTube for
over a year, but the recent disrespect exhibited by the SF quarterback makes it
timely. The video on the LI website shows over 34 million views! It's inspiring.
