State Lawmaker Pressures University to Remove Protesters from Field During Anthem

Report surfaces that Georgia State representative, Earl Ehrhart (R-23), exchanged text messages with the county sheriff, Neil Warren, wherein Ehrhart takes credit for a policy change which kept protesting Kennesaw State cheerleaders off the field during the national anthem.  This contradicted earlier reports by the university that the policy change had nothing to do with the September 30, 2017 game where five cheerleaders knelt during the national anthem.
