    Every Player Took A Knee During Thursday's NBA Game.....

    Professional sports were put on hold earlier this year as the Wuhan coronavirus made its way over from China. The silver lining of it all was that at least patriotic Americans wouldn't have to suffer through millionaire athletes disrespecting the country that made their decadent lifestyles possible by kneeling every time the national anthem came on. Well, that silver lining has ended as professional sports are now returning and more ungrateful players than ever are taking a knee in order to show their disdain for the country.

    The first game of the NBA returned on Thursday in a matchup between the Utah Jazz and the New Orleans Pelicans. Every player, coach, and even the referee took a knee as the national anthem began to play. The players wore shirts with the words "Black Lives Matter" emblazoned on the front.

    Major League Baseball games also returned recently, and there too players are kneeling in droves. Players in the WNBA, technically a professional sports league, simply walked off the court as the national anthem came on at a recent game. WNBA players plan to do this for the remainder of the season.

    As Derek Hunter recently put it, to hell with professional sports. Or as former Chicago Bears Coach Mike Ditka put it, "If you can’t respect our national anthem, get the hell out of the country.".....snip~

    Protest is patriotic. You obviously don't understand the First Amendment.

    Protesting the National Anthem is hardly patriotic. Obviously you can't comprehend reality.

    The NBA sold out to the Communists in China. Don't watch their games. Cut your ties to cable companies that force you to pay the NBA against your will.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Bull$#@!.

    A protest only has as much patriotism or integrity as the issue that lies beneath the protest. In this case, that issue is a false narrative. They might as well be protesting the slaughter of unicorns.

    Well, it's a good thing I don't do sports until the end of the season..........
    What you don't understand is that one can be fired for not working. Taking a knee is not working. By now, the message has lost its impact.

    Not if it's based on a false premise. And not during the national anthem.

    Not if it's based on a false premise. And not during the national anthem. First Amendment rights are not synonymous with patriotism.

    Dummies are killing the goose that laid the golden egg. What will the entitled brats do when their salaries drop as the NBA takes a hit?
