November 17, 20169 yr Kent State Basketball Team Invites Fans to Stand with Players for Anthem Each member of the Kent State men's basketball team, in a display of unity, went into the crowd prior to the national anthem before Wednesday night's 93-63 home opener win against Mississippi Valley State and invited a fan of a different race to join him courtside. "It was a special moment," senior guard Deon Edwin said after the game. "We all come together as one. It wasn't about color of skin. If we can do that at a small school, everyone can do it." Edwin said the plan is to do the same for every home game this year. He's hoping it will catch on with other schools, and maybe even pro teams.
November 17, 20169 yr Can't see how anyone would have a problem with this. I think it's a great idea, would like to see something like this from every team. Unity is a good thing.
November 17, 20169 yr Wait till Monday Night Football and there will be boos during the National Anthem. Can't wait to see the reaction by US citizens when that happens.
