Nebraska players Michael Rose-Ivey, Mohamed Barry and DaiShon Neal knelt during the playing of the national anthem before Saturday night's Northwestern-Nebraska game at Ryan Field in Evanston. In recent weeks, many athletes -- mostly college football and NFL players -- have followed the lead of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in kneeling during the rendering of the national anthem prior to games.
