LOOK: A football team of 8-year-olds knelt for the anthem in response to St. Louis protests

There is a group of kids in In Cahokia, Illinois who are following the lead of Colin Kaepernick. A team of 8-year-old football players have decided to take a knee during the national anthem, copying Kaepernick's form of protest that he started in 2016 (and has seen other NFL players follow suit in a myriad of ways).

The team decided to take a stand after a conversation with their coach, Orlando Gooden. According to Gooden, the team came up with the idea on their own, and the Belleville News-Democrat reports that their parents supported the decision.

"The decision, naturally, has been met with mixed reactions. Some have said that the team should be removed from their youth league"

Since when do they do the anthem at football games..

And i doubt an 8 year old came up with this idea. Them kids just worried about takis, fidget spinners & 2K
