Black Lies Continue! m/r

MIAMI (AP) — A woman performing the national anthem before an
NBA preseason game in Miami on Friday night did so while kneeling at
midcourt, and opening her jacket to show a shirt with the phrase “Black
Lives Matter.”
The singer was identified by the Heat as Denasia Lawrence. It was
unclear if she remained in the arena after the performance, and messages
left for her were not immediately returned.
Heat players and coaches stood side-by-side for the anthem, all with
their arms linked as has been their custom during the preseason. Many
had their heads down as Lawrence sang, and the team released a statement
saying it had no advance knowledge that she planned to kneel.
