A video is circulating on Twitter showing three members of Stanford University's marching band taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem at last Saturday's game against the University of Oregon.
Taking a knee as protest against police brutality was made famous by quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick played for the NFL's San Francisco 49ers until 2016, when many say he was blackballed from the league. Kaepernick retweeted the clip.
The video was taken by KXSF 102.5 FM San Francisco Community Radio and posted to their sports radio Twitter on the day of the game.
The Stanford band has a history of making headlines and raising eyebrows. The band has not made a statement regarding the kneeling.
