Area players, including entire teams, kneel during national anthem before Friday's high school games


UPDATED: This report was updated at 9 p.m. Friday and removed information about Dallas Christian and Tyler Grace Community not taking the field for the national anthem. Neither team was on the field for the anthem, but Dallas Christian told SportsDay that was due to a mistake by the public-address announcer, not a protest by the teams.

There were several signs of protest by area high school football players Friday night, including two entire Dallas ISD football teams -- Spruce and Lincoln -- kneeling during the national anthem at separate games.

Players from Spruce knelt in the end zone at Seagoville's James Ray Henry Stadium, while their opponent, Conrad, stood next to them.
