South Coast University Women's Sports Team Kneels During National Anthem

Nearly all of the players on the UC Santa Barbara women's basketball team are not standing during the national anthem, and are instead going down on one knee.

It's a statement similar to professional athletes who are concerned about racial injustice.

The university has put out a letter about the issue and is encouraging an open dialogue about the free-speech action.

Some fans are upset, however, including those with veterans in their families, and have asked for their season tickets refunded.
