Several Ole Miss men's basketball players knelt during the playing of the national anthem prior to their game against Georgia at The Pavilion at Ole Miss in Oxford, Mississippi, on Saturday.
Neal McCready of Rivals.com tweeted a photo of the demonstration:

McCready also noted that the players were kneeling in opposition of a pro-Confederate rally that was taking place at The Square in Oxford:
Neal McCreadyFor perspective, in case you're not aware, there is a pro-Confederate (whatever that is) rally on Oxford's Square today, about a mile from The Pavilion at Ole Miss, where Ole Miss is playing Georgia this afternoon.
