Eight players from the Ole Miss basketball team in Mississippi took a knee before a game in protest at a Confederacy rally being held near the arena. 'The majority of it was just that we saw one of our team-mates doing it and didn’t want him to be alone,' said Ole Miss player Breein Tyree. 'We’re just tired of these hate groups coming to our school and portraying our campus like we have these hate groups in our actual school.' Ole Miss went on to win the game 72-71.
