I'm not sure that received any coverage here. Probably. I saw it on a swimming site.

Anthony Ervin took a knee at a meet in Brazil. He is of mixed heritage -- black father and white mother, although he looks white.

Ervin won the splash and dash 50 meter freestyle last summer in Rio at age 35, and 16 years after he won the same event at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

Here is a link including a photo:

Nothing would shut up Trump and the Republicans, not when they've got symbols and fear.
