High School Cheerleaders Are Now Kneeling During The National Anthem

High school cheerleaders are also kneeling during the national anthem, according to a testimony from two high schoolers in Union City, Calif.

Two high school students, Sasha Armbrester and Teana Boston, told NPR’s Youth Radio Friday that they are protesting police brutality at football games.

Armbrester, a cheerleader for James Logan High School’s football team, said that the two girls originally learned about race relations from taking the same ethnic studies class at school, which made them reconsider supporting the National Anthem.

“When Colin Kaepernick started taking a knee, a lot of people thought he was being unpatriotic. But for me and the other black cheerleaders on my team, we were inspired. We saw an opportunity to call attention to racial injustice,” said Armbrester.

Armbrester said she also got inspiration from her friend Boston, 16, who wrote a new version of the National Anthem, one that deals with racism, which Boston sang before a football game.

High School Cheerleaders in California Take a Knee During the National Anthem

"A pair of high school cheerleaders from California earned high praise from National Public Radio for kneeling during the national anthem at their high school games."

"One was even highlighted for writing her own, Black Lives Matter-styled version of the “Star Spangled Banner.”

Sasha Armbrester and Teana Boston

Her name is “Boston”? If she had the slightest bit of historical knowledge about what happened there in the late 1700s, she’d change her name.

As I predicted. It will continue to snowball. Patriotic parents will order their football sons to eschew the game. Soon there will not be enough players to field a team in many high schools.

Of course, college cheerleaders and players will jump on the bandwagon and the same thing will happen. Fit young men will join the military to get their education instead of using football.

Football will die. Comrade Girlfriend will get a huge medal from Revolutionary Communist Party.
