Fans retaliate after marching band disrespects national anthem

To say the East Carolina University Marching Band struck a wrong chord with fans would be an understatement.

Furious North Carolina football fans booed the band after several members refused to play the National Anthem – while others took a knee.

East Carolina’s blatant disrespect of the Star-Spangled Banner happened Oct. 1st at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.

Local reports indicate about a dozen members of the Marching Pirates disgraced themselves on the football field.

At halftime – outraged fans got to have their say.
