As the national anthem began to play before Florida State’s volleyball match against archrival Florida on Wednesday, redshirt senior middle blocker Mara Green took a knee.
Someone in the standing-room-only crowd of 1,550 fans in Tully Gymnasium shouted, “Stand up!”
Green didn’t. The anthem played. Other players remained standing. Everyone in the crowd remained standing. And Green remained on one knee, her right hand on her shoulder and her left on her knee.
Head coach Chris Poole released a statement:
“Mara (Green) made me aware of her intention to kneel for the national anthem. Florida State University is an institution of higher learning that recognizes a student’s right to freedom of expression. Similarly, I respect Mara’s right to freely express herself.”
I’m proud of this young lady. Rosa park Martin Luther King will be very proud. The ones that’s judging her n saying all kinds of hateful things are the main reasons what is wrong with this country. Walk a mile in her shoes or any of the protesters I guarantee you would take them shoes off. If you don’t understand people of color pain there’s no way you would understand our outburst. #Hate it!
I love it and I love how these white people keep showing their ass
