Republican senators issued a warning to the Tennessee public university system, urging them to stop student athletes from kneeling during the national anthem.
This happened after East Tennessee State University (ETSU) men’s basketball team knelt as “The Star-Spangled Banner” played before a game against the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga on February 16.

Jason Shay said that the team only wanted to spark discussions about racial inequalities and that it wasn’t meant to disrespect the US military and its sacrifice.
