College player cut after kneeling for anthem

A backup quarterback for Division III Albright College in Pennsylvania has been cut for kneeling during the national anthem. Sophomore Gyree Durante took a knee before Saturday’s game. He says he was “taught you fight for what you believe in and you don’t bow to anyone.” The school says Durante was cut because he violated a team decision to kneel during the coin toss, but stand during the anthem. The school says the players understood there could be consequences for anyone that didn’t support the team’s decision.
