Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2016 7:59 pmCoda Boyce wore a shirt that read "#BlackAtSMU" to the game, and knelt during the anthem.
"I feel like coming from an African American background -- I grew up in Detroit, Michigan, which is a predominantly black city -- that I get tired of seeing my black brothers and sisters dying from injustices and unjustified reasons," Boyce said.

I agree.
The TCU band was so much more into the game tonight. I don't know what has happened to ours but something needs to change.

Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2016 11:21 pmThey did not do it last week at the Liberty game. So like I said just probably a reaction to the Tulsa shooting which was not a joke. Nothing wrong with that. Probably need to delete this thread before it turns really ugly towards those students peacefully demonstrating imo.

Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2016 11:24 pmKneeing for the anthem is the most harmless protest anyone could do. Move on.
Re: Some band, students kneel during national anthem
Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2016 11:25 pmI don't think it's going to get ugly. Honestly every time somebody kneels I just think they're big drama queen. Like honestly, I have yet to hear something positive come out of this other than give media ratings. This doesn't do anything in reality besides that. I just wish it wasn't our members because I had some respect for the band, now it's just another eye roll.
