A popular donut chain in York County, Pennsylvania made headlines by hosting a billboard that comments on the NFL national anthem protests.
The Maple Donuts billboard reads, “Maple Donuts takes a stand not a knee.” Locals and social media users have had varying reactions to the message that refers to the phenomena of kneeling during the national anthem. Taking a knee has become a form of protest before NFL games and by players in other sports leagues that are copying the trend.
