A Chattanooga, Tennessee, man told local media outlets that he lost his job after he sat for the national anthem last weekend.

Tyler Chancellor, who worked for kickboxing gym 9Round for about a week, was told by the owner not to come back after he sat during “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Chancellor said he was training to become a kickboxing coach.
