2020-06-15 | Whole high school baseball team in Iowa kneels during national anthem | TheHill

'According to a local NBC affiliate, the whole baseball team at Roosevelt High School knelt in Principal Park prior to a game on Monday. '

'Baseball players at a high school in Des Moines, Iowa, took a knee during the national anthem on Monday as protests against police brutality and racism continue across the country over the police killings of African Americans. '

'In a statement to the local station on Monday, Tracy Johnson, the activities manager for the high school team, said he supports the players’ demonstration.“It made me feel good because our kids are in it together. '

'The demonstration by the high school team comes as a debate over whether professional athletes should be allowed to kneel during the national anthem to protest police treatment of people of color and racial inequality has reignited nationwide following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, in police custody. '

'Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began the kneeling protests in the NFL during the 2016 season. '
