And by the way, Carter pointed out Pat Summitt's teams stayed off the court for the anthem as well. I haven't verified, but there are plenty of teams that aren't out for the anthem.

And I would say "stayed off the court" even gives the wrong impression as if it's a purposeful affront to the anthem. It's not. Teams have pregame routines that have them warming up then going in and coming back at times that fit that routine....for instance every LSU football game I've been to in the last 50 years this is the routine that's followed, the routine has both teams in the locker room during the anthem. They are not waiting in the locker room until the anthem is over as some sort of protest. The whole premise of the story is flawed and ignorant. It's the type of stuff that folks here regularly lampoon when those on the other side do it.
