Two Victory & Praise Christian Academy football players were kicked off the team for protesting during the national anthem at a game Friday night.
Cedric Ingram-Lewis raised his fist while cousin Larry McCullough knelt during the anthem ahead of the team's game against Providence Classical.
After the anthem ended, head coach Ronnie Mitchem instructed them to take off their uniforms and kicked them off the team. Mitchem is a former Marine and pastor who started the church-based football program in Crosby six years ago.
Ingram-Lewis, a sophomore, said the topic of protesting had come up in the locker room before and his cousin McCullough, a senior, even announced he would kneel via social media. The coach had told players he did not want anyone to kneel, citing his service in the military.
"He told us that disrespect will not be tolerated," Lewis said, recalling the moments after the anthem ended. "He told us to take off our uniform and leave it there."

I think the finger pointed up is the islamic thing. This one looks like the “He farted” gesture, or it could be the “ It was his idea” sign.
"Hands up! Don't shoot!" that was a complete, total and absolute documented lie?
mom’s the one who is missing the point her boy and nephew are lacking the morals ethics and integrity of what it means to be a citizen and to abide by coach’s rules since he is the one who started the team and let the boys have a chance to play in the first place.
mom only sees victim mentality which never will be in line with morals ethics and integrity.
Honestly I can kinda see how her kid came to be the way he is at a young age.
Perspiring rappers...
Actions have consequences. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.
“Bet they’re attending on scholarships.”
All the more reason for them to go. You would think that any scholarship would have some wording regarding the need to conduct yourself appropriately. What would have been really appropriate is for the coach to have had them strip down to their jock straps on the field and leave buck naked. Bet you their “raised fists” would been relegated to “an alternate activity!”

Good catch.
[[“Actions speak louder than words. ]]
You are correct Mrs Brady- and the actions of your kids spoke LOUD AND CLEAR- they informed the world that they do not respect authority-
[[I don’t want my kids or my nephew to be around a man with no integrity.”]]
Your definition of integrity is severely screwed up if you think your kids showed it and the coach didn’t- your kids were kicked off the team because they DISRESPECTED Him, the team, the school and our country and police force-
Evidently a private school, and these two were probably on scholarships. They can’t be sued for this.
I had not noticed until you mentioned it. Thanks. They are certainly making a hand sign. I don't know what that sign means.
Their mom was involved in the pre-planning, I’m willing to bet. Just the few minutes of looking around pretty much convinced me. Do your own DD.
Uh, buh-bye............(see you and your irresponsible parents in court where I hope you LOSE)!
I would love to see them protest by kneeling down on a drug corner or cleaning up an abandoned lot.
Could be a gang sign??
That b**ch wouldn’t know integrity, morals and ethics if it bit her ass..
Who’s ya daddy?
I’ll bet Tommy Sotomayor will have something to say about that hair-hatted momma.
Good.
