So we are supposed to respect this guy for doing shite he's supposed to do anyway? OK.

I don't expect everybody to be overly patriotic. That's fine.

Standing for the playing of the anthem doesn't have a damn thing to do with the current government and a lot more to do with those who fought for this country IMO.

Chris Jackson is an LSU legend

He didn't do as well in the nba...I think because his
Tourette syndrom got to his peak performance..and probably becoming a muslim didn't help...

Are you equally as upset when people stand for the anthem, but refuse to remove their hats, or don't pay a lick of fricking attention, or talk to their neighbor, or read their phone, etc?

Frankly, I respect Jackson's action more than those assholes. While I disagreed with his decision, I respected the fact that it came from an honest (though wrongheaded I thought) place. It wasn't disrespectful accidentally...he was making a point. Do idiots that simply don't give a flying frick about the anthem but stand because they see other people standing get a pass as good Americans for merely standing up with the crowd, or is more expected?
