A country singer who knelt after singing the national anthem at the Titans–Seahawks game this past weekend has received death threats, reports The Tennessean.

Meghan Linsey, a former contestant on The Voice, along with her guitarist, kneeled following the song.

"I feel like I did the right thing," she told the paper. "I don't have any regrets."

Linsey said people called her un-American, wished she would get cancer and told her she hated the military as a response to her kneeling.

“It wasn’t a matter of standing against our flag or our military,” she said.
