Albright College has dismissed two players from the team for failing to kneel during the coin toss prior to an Oct. 7 homecoming game against Delaware Valley at Shirk Stadium.

On Friday, Albright president Dr. Jacquelyn S. Fetrow told Beth Hudson and Karen Shuey of the Reading Eagle the players didn't go along with a team-wide decision to show unity.

"... Going forward, if players are on the field or court when the anthem is played, all coaches will support their team players who choose to either stand or kneel during the anthem," Fetrow said in a statement.
