Chris Brown refuses to stand for national anthem during charity basketball game on 9/11 anniversary (photos)
Chris Brown
on Sunday
refused to stand for the national anthem during a charity basketball
game held to commemorate the 9/11 anniversary in Los Angeles joining NFL
player Colin Kaepernick in his national anthem protest.
The
27-year-old singer became the latest star to support NFL player Colin
Kaepernick's protest of racial injustice in the U.S which has stirred up
reactions across America.
R&B singer Tank, before
singing the anthem, urged the crowd to stand in respect for the men and
women who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks 15-years ago. But
Chris Brown remained seated and laughed with his friends as those around
him stood up.
