A woman was recorded throwing her drink on two men at a Los Angeles Lakers game for kneeling during the national anthem.
Haley Perea of California is the woman in the video who approaches two men of color who are seated and yells: ‘Excuse me, this is for the national anthem you pieces of s***’.
She then throws her soda all over the men.
The woman recording, Savannah Sugg, posted the video to Twitter with the caption,”’Take a kneel for the land of the slaves” Disrespect our flag and our country and that’s how we’ll react.’
The tweet has since been deleted as well as both of the women’s social media accounts.

The video was recorded after the national anthem when the men were already back in their seats.
As the two women walk away one is heard calling them ‘f******.
The men are seen turning to the women but video cuts off as they walk away and it is unclear if the men confronted them.
Perea and Sugg are both students at California Baptist University.
Online users are enraged by the women’s actions, calling for assault charges to be pressed against them.
Other users have tweeted at Perea’s job at a food restaurant calling for her termination.
The identities of the two men are unknown and the women were not available for comment.
One Twitter user called the women thugs for their actions
One Twitter user posted a photo of the sit-in demonstration at a Woolworth’s lunch counter in Jackson Mississippi in 1963
A user tweeted at Juice It Up to alert the company of Haley Perea because they thought she was an employee
Juice It Up later replied saying that Perea had not been an employee there since July
But another user tweeted at Perea’s new job and called for her firing
The men were taking the lead from former San Francisco 49ers football player Colin Kaepernick
The men were taking the lead from former San Francisco 49ers football player Colin Kaepernick who first sat and then switched to kneeling during the national anthem as a form of peaceful protest against police brutality last year.
The protest has continued this season with dozens of NFL players from different teams taking a knee during the national anthem at the start of games.
Cheerleaders from Kennesaw State University joined the nationwide protest as well as professional athletes from other sports.
And though the protest has gained support, it has also brought about large criticism.
President Trump is a very vocal critic of the protest and blasted the footballers who didn’t stand for the anthem, calling them ‘sons of b******’.
Sunday, Vice President Mike Pence said he left the Indiana Colt’s game because the players knelt during the anthem
He tweeted a photo of him and his wife standing with their hand over their heart during the anthem
On Sunday, Vice President Mike Pence walked out of the Indianapolis Colts game against the San Francisco 49ers because players linked arms while others knelt during the anthem.
‘I left today’s Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem,’ Pence tweeted.
‘While everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I don’t think it’s too much to ask NFL players to respect the Flag and our National Anthem.’
Pence said he stands with President Donald Trump on this matter
