🏈 What was the little exhibit about before kickoff

[50+yeartidefan]

just wondering.....
Before the KO with CSU......several bama player...half dozen or so....went to the endzone and kneeled
Down for a few moments.....
Several CSU went to the other EZ and did the same...
As usual..the players were all in the locker room at the National Athem so they couldn't perform a stupid disgraceful exhibit toward our country..
.....was the kneeling political....or religious? Havent seen anything on this....
About a half dozen idiots in student section didnt stand for NA...the other 100,000+ fans were respectful
Anybody know....? I didnt record any #s of who....

The players taking a knee in the endzone were simply giving a personal prayer. No protest, no statement about religion. You won't find many, if any, players protesting during the national anthem. Coaches have more control over players at the college level and many have said that a player won't play if they choose to protest instead of respect.

Just a little prayer for their health and a good game.

What i wa hoping for but had never seen them retreat to the EZ to do such....
And both teams had players to do it......

It's safer and out of the way from most of the other activity going on.

It happens a lot. Pretty surprised you've never noticed before.

Watch for it in future games, not just Alabama.

P.S. At least you know what you don't know.

Jalen was a captain I believe and came right after and also had Texas strong on his wrist i believe

Well, considering college football players aren't on the field during the NA...

That's actually a lot of guys lined up, so I can see your point. I've seen guys sporadically in the endzone, but not this many lined up at once in a line.

Depends on the level (FBS, FCS, D3)
