The Daily Caller: ‘Oppressed’ TCU Students Refuse To Stand For National Anthem

The national anthem is making news yet again. This time, the controversy is surrounding college football.

As the national anthem sounded throughout Texas Christian University’s Amon G Carter Stadium to kick off Saturday’s game against Iowa State, a group of approximately 20 TCU students refused to stand and honor our country. Their reasoning? A protest to “stand up against racial injustices in America”.

An event invitation sent out prior to the game instructed those interested in participating to arrive two and a half hours before the game in order to secure a section of seating specifically designated for TCU students. The invitation also instructed protest attendees to wear a “solid black shirt,” despite TCU’s “purple-out” themed homecoming game.
