According to ESPN, Texas A&M alum Zach Collier posted on Facebook this week that his National Anthem performance was canceled. The singer posted photos of what he said are emails from the College World Series of Omaha, Inc. claiming...quote:That gesture was a Horn Down he flashed...
"we have documented proof that he made offensive gestures and mockery of a participating team ... and we do not feel comfortable allowing him to perform."

"The performance of the national anthem during NCAA championship events is a solemn moment for reflection and mutual respect for all championship participants and fans in attendance," the NCAA said in a statement. "Following his national anthem performance during the Women's College World Series -- during which the performer inappropriately supported one participating team, taunted the other team, and disrupted participating student-athletes and coaches by attempting to interact with them -- he was asked not to perform during the Men's College World Series."
