BBC News Published image captionKneeling while the anthem plays at sports events is not uncommon An announcer for a live broadcast of a girls high school basketball game in Oklahoma was caught using a racist slur and profanities against players who knelt during the national anthem. Matt Rowan, owner and operator of the streaming service OSPN, later admitted using the words and apologised. The incident happened before the match between Norman High School and Midwest City quarter final game. Kneeling for the national anthem symbolises a protest against racism. NFL player Colin Kaepernick sparked the movement in 2016 when he knelt during the anthem in protest at police brutality - but it was controversial with many in the US, including former President Trump, viewing the gesture as unpatriotic.
