With NFL players, coaches, and team staff making statements by kneeling, linking arms, or holding hands during performances of "The Star-Spangled Banner" in advance of Sunday's games, one anthem singer found a way to participate in the demonstrations.
Singer Rico Lavelle knelt down on the field as he belted out the final line of the national anthem at Ford Field in Detroit before the Atlanta Falcons took the field against the Lions.
