Colin Kaepernick, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback cum political activist, really started something, didn’t he?

First, he was out there all by himself, the only one who “took a knee” during the national anthem, protesting what he sees as racial injustice in America. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” he said.

Then other NFL players joined the protest. Then college players took a knee. Followed by high school players.

President Obama was asked about the protest and said, “I think he cares about some real, legitimate issues that need to be talked about.”

And when Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was asked to weigh in, she at first said his protest was “dumb” and “disrespectful,” before backing off, saying her comments “were inappropriately dismissive and harsh.”

But now, the movement has taken a new turn. Now, it’s not only athletes who are taking a knee in protest. Now, even a few of the people who sing the national anthem before games have joined the movement.

Before a Sacramento Kings pre-season NBA game, Leah Tysse knelt down on one knee during the last line of the anthem. As she sang, “”O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave,” she dropped down on the word “free.”
