You need two cups.
Okay, I'll contribute something. In the US standing for the national anthem isn't compulsory because we aren't North Korea. In fact, protesting or taking symbolic stands and having the right or duty to do so is something a person can choose to do in this nation. As we are a nation that came into existence from acts of defiance.
Thanks for contributing something. Personally I'd prefer to honor the flag. My opposition is not so much a personal choice thing. Its when organizations (both teams) in this case are making statements, that's not a "personal choice".
Fans who don't usually watch the WNBA might be asking why the Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream weren't on the court during the national anthem. The answer is simple: since becoming a WNBA franchise, the Valkyries have kept their pregame routine of going into the locker room for the anthem, while Atlanta has left the court before the anthem for the past several years.
While the WNBA rulebook states what should happen during the anthem, the league suspended those protocols years ago.
Meh. It's just fun to shame them for trying to protest something that doesn't really need protesting and that their protesting won't do anything for but further breed negativity......................
I agree. I believe the WNBA CBA requires that both teams be present and standing for the National Anthem.
There is a rule they're supposed to but in 2017 they suspended the protocol and never reinstated it.

9 years and no issue. The bots got people worked up.
I say just kick the Dream and Valkyries out of the Finals and give the title to the Fever. Problem solved.There is a rule they're supposed to but in 2017 they suspended the protocol and never reinstated it.

Fever fans would love a title they didn’t earnI say just kick the Dream and Valkyries out of the Finals and give the title to the Fever. Problem solved.
Just wondering why you felt the need to post on a subject you call trash, and still, here you are . Practice what you preach.
It's America, and whether or not a team is on the floor for the NA or not or whether a person puts their hand over the heart, has no bearing on their allegiance to this country. I find this about number 100 or more on my list of concerns.
I don't give a sh** what Fever fans want. How bout that?
I'm fine with Caitlin winning a title, regardless of how it's won.
It's the principle of the matter of her haters having to deal with it.
Yeah, that guy looks like a real scholar...
Recently retired from a career in health care, the last 29 years in the Des Moines area. Clinic served the lower half of the population socioeconomically, so very diverse patient base. Met people from 48 of the 54 African nations; close to 120 of the world's countries.
I'm a little slow, so it took a few years to recognize the pattern and ask myself, 'Why are all these people here?' Many of their journeys
were costly and dangerous. Often I had time to ask them a bit about their story; a number of these folks seemed wary of sharing and I
sensed some of them felt guilty about being in the US because of previous criticisms. I'm sure at least some of them were here illegally.
I liked to say, 'Well, we're glad you're here' to somewhat ease their angst. Most would reply, 'We're very happy to be here'.
I have to admit I did have one man who said, 'I wish I had never come to America'. I had to ask why, and his response was, 'If I had stayed in
Somalia maybe my brother wouldn't have been killed'. A sobering statement if ever there was. Most of us have no idea how good we have it
here. The poverty line in the US is 30 times higher than in most of the world. Not 30 percent, but 30 times higher.
There's always room to debate policies and beliefs....we really need more of that. But you cannot argue against someone's true life experience.

They gave them an out, and said they can all go back to the locker room. So basically its another "rule" that's not really a "rule" in the W.
My interest in the WNBA is fading fast. CC is on a trainwreck of a team and I think that using the word professional with that league is stretching the meaning of it pretty far.

Anthem enforcers need to get a grip. Saw a guy swat the baseball cap off a guy in the row ahead of him while the anthem was playing at a Bears vs Vikings game. A fistfight ensued and enforcer got his arse kicked pretty good from what I could tell. Mind your own f’king business.
mis-spelling moron as moran has been an inside joke on these boards for many years…. so long I forget why but think it was from some “knowledgeable” poster calling someone else a moran…..

Hawkod,
Interesting perspective. I took multiple trips to Argentina. They are suppose to have the largest middle class in Sourh America. A far cry from our middle class. Great, hard working people. Leave the cities and folks are living in tin hovels. We visiting a plastics manufacturing facility in Indonesa, owned by a Gentleman from Singapore. High tech facility providing jobs to an impoverished area. They had just placed a hiring notice for 30 new positions, the line of applicants was a mile long.
Yes, we do have it very, very good. Maybe through my travels I have developed a greater appreciation for the US. Spent expats in Canada and UK, trust me, we were always glad to be back home.
If those young ladies had my global experiences, maybe they would be more appreciative.
Been retired for 9 years and am more ambivolant towards these matters. Heading out for the evening bite. Cheers!

A lot of these young ladies have spent their careers also playing overseas in the offseason.
Anthem enforcers are the same people that camp in the left lane because no one should be going faster than the speed limit,
No you won't
Companies are ppl too..
Sincerely, Citizens United.
The rules are, there are no rules. Are some of you new here?There is a rule they're supposed to but in 2017 they suspended the protocol and never reinstated it.

I haven't stood--and will not stand--for the anthem as long as a cruel, evil, egomaniac dictator is allowed to continue demolishing American democracy. I'm weird like that.
Biden and the clown Obama are gone go ahead and stand
