The NBA is back, and ahead of the first game of the league’s restart, players from both teams joined coaches and referees to kneel during the national anthem.
They are showing their utter disrespect for the flag and for their country, and they are kneeling in support of the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement.
Players from the New Orleans Pelicans and Utah Jazz, as well as the game’s referees, made a statement on Thursday prior to tip-off. During a pre-recorded version of the national anthem, everyone on the court took a knee, while some players locked arms, and others raised their fists in the air.
The fists are a nice communist touch.

“The New Orleans Pelicans stand by the ideals of freedom of speech and the right to peacefully protest. Collectively with the Utah Jazz, our organization joins the NBA in supporting our players and coaches,” the Pelicans wrote.

They realize that sports fans are notorious addicts who will even put sports above their own future security.
So the only important lives are black people??? That’s the way many people and me are looking at this kneeling.. Jackassess!!! Most WHITE people esp. christians are the ones that helped you get out of being segregated and being accepted as a human being and not by the color of your skin. But let’s not remember this and now turn on all of these people. Why don’t they read the truth about this org. BLM and then continue turning their backs on this great country<<<USA. I saw on ESPN late one night 2 teams standing for our Nat’l. Anthem they were playing…Lacrosse. Let’s start watching them instead. No more NBA or WNBA they do the same thing.
Buh-BYE !!!!!!!!!!
How come they didn’t decide to play their games in Corona flu Communist China? That’s who they’re constantly bowing down to. What were they afraid of?
Time to ban all sports period. If you think you have it so bad here, you are free to go anywhere in the world where you think you will get better treatment. I am so tired of these crybaby apes thinking the world owes them for everything. You are making millions of dollars a year playing sports and that’s mistreatment? We need to bring back chain gangs.
