NFL CHEERLEADER takes a KNEE during national anthem at Thursday Night Football!

And here we go – now the national anthem protest is infecting cheerleaders too.

This seems like a bad decision:

Of course the media loved it:

An unidentified cheerleader for the San Francisco 49ers was photographed kneeling during the national anthem at Thursday evening’s game between the 49ers and Oakland Raiders at Levi’s Stadium, CBS San Francisco reports.

“I just thought it was peaceful, respectful, constitutionally-protected free speech,” remarked Lenny Herrold, a fan in the stands whose photo of the cheerleader was one of several that went viral on social media.

So is the cheerleader going to face some consequences for her actions? I noticed that in the statement the NFL had put out about this, they included everyone on the field, not just the players. You can bet people will go insane if the cheerleader faces any kind of repercussions from her taking her a knee.
