Unfortunate story out of South Carolina.
And I'm glad we elected not to bring politics into our pre-game. What our players do on their private time is their business and not part of our gameday. I'm glad we didn't mix the two. The pre-game isn't the place to air grievances.
Lets solve problems together not poke each other in the eye.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Ten players for No. 1 South Carolina remained seated during the national anthem before their season-opening 119-38 win over College of Charleston on Wednesday.
Only junior forward Elysa Wesolek stood during the anthem. Coach Dawn Staley and her staff also stood.
The team tweeted a statement saying many of them did not stand "to shine a light on the need for racial equality, social justice and ending systemic racism in our country."
