Leah Tysse Takes A Knee While Performing National Anthem

Bay area singer Leah Tysse took a bold stance Tuesday night when she knelt while singing the National Anthem at the King’s game.

This protest, is one of many against the anthem, since San Francisco 49er Colin Kaepernick first announced he would kneel during the anthem during his games until Black Lives Matter in America.

Tysse explained via Facebook :

“This act embodies the conflict many of us feel. I love and honor my country as deeply as anyone yet it is my responsibility as an American to speak up against the injustice as it affects my fellow Americans.”

Awesome.
