How World Series teams acted during national anthem
Game 1 of the World Series took place in Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles Tuesday night. As members of sports teams continue to protest the national anthem by taking a knee, members of both the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros stood to give their respect.
“Go Time,” the Dodgers tweeted ahead of the game, with a video of the team standing.

“The Star-Spangled Banner” was sung by Keith Williams Jr.
Naturally, fans noticed.

Learn a lesson from game 1 of#WorldSeries2017 that no one took a knee during the National Anthem.

Last year, as the protests against the national anthem were just heating up, both teams in the World Series stood as well.
