There were several signs of protest by area high school football players Friday night, including two entire Dallas ISD football teams -- Spruce and Lincoln -- kneeling during the national anthem at separate games.
Players from Spruce knelt in the end zone at Seagoville's James Ray Henry Stadium, while their opponent, Conrad, stood next to them.
"The kids decided they would kneel during the anthem early in the week. It was their decision," Spruce coach Carl Richardson said.
"We talked about it all week, and the coaches, managers and trainers stood during the anthem."
Players from Lincoln knelt along the sideline stretching from the end zone to the 15-yard line during the anthem at Forester Field. Their opponent, Life Waxahachie, stood.

This is a case of the inmates running the asylum. If the coach had any moxie he would pull his team off the field and forfeit the game. Who in their right mind would hire these kids?

DeleteThat would do it. I see many empty seats and this is in Texas.
If the principle has any balls, that would be the end of the football program. Period.
