Many UNC women’s soccer players kneel during national anthem before decisive opening-game victory
Posted Sep 17, 2020

Before the Tar Heels’ 4–1 victory over Wake Forest in Chapel Hill, the majority of the team knelt during the national anthem and there was a moment of silence in support of social justice efforts. “Black lives do matter,” Dorrance said.
