Kennesaw State University has cut four of the five cheerleaders who took a knee during the playing of the national anthem last year, according to reports.
The school newspaper, the Sentinel, noted that four of the five kneelers did not make the cut for the 2018 football season. KSU’s athletic department reported that 91 women tried out for the 52 spots on the various cheer squads, up from 61 applicants last year. The department also noted that three other members of last year’s teams also did not make the cut for this year.
“Similar to all KSU sports teams, multi-year spots on rosters are not guaranteed, and all student-athletes must earn their position on a team,” a letter from the KSU athletic department stated according to the school’s paper.

Hhank God for some common sense and a little class.
getting a tad bit outta hand when athletic department need to justify why they do something - to protect themselves with civil cases.
Eventually sporting events will STOP playing the anthem to avoid protests. Then folks will complain they want the anthem back.
Stupidity at its worst since most folks really don't know the issues.
Yes. They used good sense and I'm glad they did it.
Good They want to show off then let them show off elsewhere. Trash pure trash.
