Nya Reed – Equality

Florida Gators junior Nya Reed came into her team’s gymnastics competition against the University of Georgia on Jan. 15 with a clear message. She and four other athletes knelt for the national anthem, and she personally chose to stamp “#equality” on the back of her leg.

Athletes, according to the University of Florida, will take part in this demonstration throughout the season. …
