Millikin Football Team Protests National Anthem

Wednesday, 19 October 2016

Millikin football players have chosen to continue with National Anthem protests, and took it to another level the past two weeks.

For the second consecutive week, all but one player on the team chose to stay in the locker room during the National Anthem.

On September 24 several Millikin players kneeled during the anthem in a protest similar to San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Millikin is a private Division three school, but most major teams run onto the field after the anthem because of elaborate pregame routines.
