Tyler Jones took a knee during the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before each Ozark Mountain Ducks baseball game in 2020. The Ducks won the GRBL championship, and Jones brought attention to issues African Americans face in the Missouri Ozarks.
On Sept. 4, 2020, a team named the Ozark Mountain Ducks took the field at U.S. Baseball Park for the first time in 16 years. Jones, the only black player in the Grip 'N Rip Baseball League, and two of his white teammates dropped to a knee in protest against disparate police brutalization of black people.
