 Colin Kaepernick's gesture to kneel for the national anthem was repeated by high school players in a number of places before games Friday night.
Kaepernick retweeted a number of posts on Twitter with photos or news stories.
Here is a sampling:
* At Lincoln Southeast in Nebraska, two players - one white, one African-American took a knee as a silent protest. (see the video above).
* At Waggener High in Louisville, a player took a knee as his teammates stood alongside him. A number of players had taken a knee as the team line up but eventually rose as the music starting playing.
* Many players at Maury High in Norfolk, Va., took a knee behind the end zone when the anthem was played. Others stood at attention as did the coaches. "Our school system has said, we're of the belief, we let our guys do what they believe in," Coach Chris Fraser told the Virginian Pilot . "And so we didn't make an issue of it, and if they believe in a cause, that's fine. I stand behind what they believe in, but I'm going to do what I believe in."
* At Auburn High in Rockford, Ill., a number of players took a knee during the anthem while their teammates stood with their hands over their hearts.
