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."

Hey Mom, education is the key to opportunity.
I think it is Islamic. Why are they in a Christian school? Bad apples spoil the whole bunch; no good can come of it.
I bet he will!
“Both intended to get football scholarships then head to the NFL.”
And I intended to be a concert pianist and rake in a bazillion dollars every year. Do these youths of color understand that only a piddly percentage of players get into the NFL. Delusional.
Lewis’ mother, Rhonda Brady, is just another ole Black racist. She doesn’t like Coach’s actions, then she can teacher her son to act like a civilized, respectful human being. Coach is not the culprit here—its these two goons who brought their dismissal on themselves.

Wrong thread, cuz?
Notice the article didn’t quote their fathers. Coaches are stuck with the job of trying to discipline Black teenage boys who have been raised by nothing but mothers and grandmothers. The results are painfully obvious.
There should be a special place in Heaven for coaches who managed to do a good job of this thankless task.
