No, which is why I said I wasn't here to judge those opinions. It just has absolutely nothing to do with anything we've been talking about and I have no interest in allowing him to derail the conversation.

One of the many reason I stopped watching nba games. It’s a shite product to begin with, the slather it full of wokeness and they’ve become intolerable.

Most people? And because some places put up the words on a big screen, it means the people don't love it? Okie dokie.

Mark Chubansky is like the rest of his tribe. Use the poorly educated work force for his own benefit.

ecause there’s alot of people who have given a lot to make this country happen, and it’s been a relatively safe environment for millions of people for a long time, and lifted millions out of poverty for decades. Our system works here. We’re all sitting here typing this in our nice comfortable dwellings.


Yep. Our “oppressed” are legitimately first world problems. The contrarians on here are just being being contrarians because they are bored as frick with their lives, too.

The NBA and “woke” athletes deserve to be mocked endlessly for their boohooing while cashing checks for more money than the entire world could ever dream of. And the price they pay? Having to lift weights and run around for 20 years of their life.

Boo fricking hoo

I love how they act like they have it so fricking bad. They can go to any grocery store and buy as many steaks and beer as they want and have a damn party.

They can also shop anywhere they want, go to a park, own real estate, and have a job.

USA is absolutely the greatest nation the world has ever seen and it should honored.

It’s not enough to not be racist, be anti racist

Not enough to be unhappy yourself, you must be anti joy

Not enough to be a personal failure, you must be anti success for everyone

99% of them are just completely miserable. Wokeness is the shittiest religion in human history. Even Islam believes in redemption.

How many people actually like this country that live here?

It seems American pride is trending towards zero

I always see a lot of “never understood why they played it to begin with” or “euro soccer doesn’t do it” in anthem threads.

So what? Why can’t things be uniquely American? We used to take pride in those things and it was pretty great.

The article above your post explains they haven’t played it once this season. Which makes it even better for some of the posters freaking out in this thread like their honor was just challenged



Funny how it took them this long to realize they haven't been playing it. Without that article, they could have not played it the whole season and the idiots in here would be none the wiser

Why would the people on here kmow about it unless there is an unknown hardcore Maverick fan base on here? The article also said it was the first game with limited fans allowed, so it's natural that it would get noticed or talked about now.

It’s funny how many people in this thread are using the excuse that nobody noticed until now, so why should we care?

Well, considering the arenas are mostly empty and TV broadcasts don’t show it, there’s a pretty good reason why it’s not noticed.

I’m crossing my fingers this is because it’s not an extremely important exercise in an empty arena. That said, I don’t think the anthem is strictly for government recognition, or extreme patriotism. Hell, it’s a time of reflection. I often use it to think how fortunate I am to be in a venue watching a game instead living in a shithole country waiting for my next loaf of bread.

Unfortunately, seems like we have lots of dipshits in here that think it’s too much to give that time up, listen to a song, honor the country you are fortunate to live in, and reflect upon something...anything.

I like it. If nobody plays the anthem, nobody can kneel during it
