California Softball Team Gets Brutal Reception When It Kneels for National Anthem During Game in the South

Iconic television character Tony Soprano issued one of his most quotable lines in the hit show “The Sopranos” in 2001 when dealing with an unbalanced relative who had been living out West and had forgotten how things were done in North Jersey.
“No, no, no. I don’t want any of that California bulls**t,” actor James Gandolfino’s Tony sternly told his sister Janice, reminding her where she was and how things were done there.
Fans of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s women’s softball team offered a similar message to players of the University of California, Berkley – although they did so while representing better values than television’s acclaimed New Jersey mob boss.
During a Feb. 9 home game, every member of the Ragin’ Cajuns softball team stood to honor their country as the national anthem was played.
Most of Cal’s players also stood to honor their country, but six of them took a knee. The action didn’t go over so well in the South.

Why those 6 ____s imagined this would go over in Louisiana, I don't get. Did they expect to be cheered by spectators who happened to be black? (IRL, I suspect that any spectators who happened to be black jeered as loudly as anyone)

A little chin music for the 6 would have been in order.
