The Beaumont Boys-4

a group of 11-12 year olds in Beaumont, Texas knelt down on one knee during the star spangled during their own football game, even the couch joined in. The protest went viral, which the team did not expect, but yet they still protested. the team was threatened multiple times involving other teams playing against them, the Beaumont Bulls board canceling the season, and even people threatening the children and coaches lives. One of the boys Jaleun Parkerson said that "since Colin Kaepernick took a stand, we wanted to do the same, we wanted to stand against racism and injustice". The head coach Rah-Rah Barber even explained to the parents what was happening and they agreed with the decision and gave full approval. from then on the kids kept making the decision to kneel and stand for what they believed in. Sadly the board blamed it on Couch Barber who had "lost control of his team" but Barber stood up and explained that "our kids are waking up, and when that happens, change happens"
