A football player from Division III school Albright College was cut from the team after he took a knee during the playing of the national anthem last week.
Albright backup quarterback Gyree Durante was dismissed after he was the only member of the team to take a knee before a 41–6 loss to Delaware Valley University last Saturday.
An Albright College spokesperson said that Durante was dismissed after he went against the team's decision to stand for the anthem and only kneel for the coin toss.
"The football team made a team-wide decision to both kneel during the coin toss and stand during the national anthem," the spokeswoman said to NBC 10.
