Apparently this has been done multiple times throughout the season because, “the anthem doesn’t represent freedom, liberty, and justice for all Americans”. Whatever the shit that means.

Teams completely leave the court for the anthem and return after.

I hope this isn’t a repost and if it is please delete.

I just think it might be time to reinstitute the “rule of thumb” or outright acceptance of slapping a stupid ass.

I can only hope they become even more unpopular!

A dildo standing erect as a replacement would be appropriate.

As far as being "more unpopular". That may be impossible.

Nobody noticed because nobody watches the WNBA.

Nobody watches it. The league is completely and utterly subsidized by the NBA. And the NBA viewer numbers are way down compared to the past. They haven’t had “the” numbers since MJ’s last finals in 1998. The biggest part of that is the rules (no D, and constant 3 point shooting contest), and the players and their bullshit.

If the WNBA was a real business it would have filed Ch.11 and be done with forever.

Is the Whiny Nasty Beeches Association still a thing? I thought they had already been related to the blue-haired women’s soccer level. I don’t wish bad things on people, but I wouldn’t lose sleep if the league withered on the vine.

Since Califorication is a radical leftist location. having their team disrespect the National Anthem comes without shock; the Georgia team did catch me by surprise.

I recall that, in my elementary school in Alpine, Texas we started the day with the Pledge and a prayer. By High School (1957-1959), and now, no more.

I am at a loss for words to describe how angry their disrespect for my Country has made me!

It’s just so stupid. You’re playing in a game dominated by men, paid for by men. Making tons of money and have all freedoms you could ever need.

I swear folks who spew this shit out their mouth should have to spend 90 days in a REAL lack of freedom, liberty, and justice.

Just shut up already.

I think it's better for the teams to leave the court during the anthem than to stand there rolling their eyes and scratching themselves to convey their disdain. But I would not even be aware of any of this if certain media outlets (a special "fuck you" to Fox News/Outkick) didn't relentlessly push the WNBA these days. I miss the good old days when nobody but a few green-haired lesbians in a Portland sports bar really knew what was going on in the WNBA.

Well fuck them.
I can’t remember the last time I watched basketball or football.
Im just adding those twats to the list.

There’s a time and a place to make a statement. To me, during the National Anthem sure the fuck aint it.

Then again, these spoiled, over paid fucks were doing something way different than I was between the ages of 18 and early twenties. Maybe they might think different.

Can someone tell me why we went out of our way to get that Griner thing back from a Russian prison?

The ONLY way this shit is going to stop is if a whole, whole mess of people stop buying Coke, stop buying Ford, stop buying Doritos…
Institutions like the NBA, NFL, WNBA pay attention to the almighty dollar.
Stop spending $ on their sponsors (Doritos, Nike, Ford et al.) and LET THOSE COMPANIES KNOW.
Then shit will change.

Until then, keep expecting this shit to continue.

These bitches "taking a knee" had better be doing it to thank God that they live in a country where they can make several tens of dollars for playing with a ball. Roll Eyes Mad

Thomas Jefferson called it over 250 years ago when he said games played with the ball are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind.

I watched long enough to see the witches did it once again. And the management also found a singer that had to do it "his way".

I don’t even watch the NBA, I do read a few articles about the drama in the WNBA at times. Without circus tricks would anyone watch them??
