Oh, fantastic. Now singers will start protesting by kneeling while performing the national anthem? Apparently so…
This is Leah Tysee, a recording artist from the East Bay, and her rendition of the national anthem before a Sacramento Kings’ preseason game on Monday, complete with the now obligatory social justice kneel at the end of the song:

Ms. Tysee explained her decision in a Facebook post, saying taking a knee during the song was “the most patriotic thing I could do.”
Or maybe it’s not.
