49ers cheerleader takes knee during national anthem

A cheerleader for the San Francisco 49ers kneeled during the national anthem of Thursday’s home game against the Raiders in San Francisco.

While all cheerleaders stood in a uniform position during the anthem, one can be seen kneeling alone in line.

The anthem protest to raise awareness around injustices facing people of color in America began when quarterback Colin Kaepernick first took a knee in 2016 when playing for the 49ers.

Kaepernick later became a free agent after facing backlash for his pregame anthem protest. He has remained unsigned since becoming the face of the movement among NFL players who choose to kneel during the anthem.

8. That's brave-- they don't have a lot of job protection

And they don't get paid much.
So she's taking a real risk here for principle.

9. Good for her

How is what she's doing any more disrespectful than the stance of the rest of the cheerleaders? Is the National Anthem playing or Madonna?
