    Will there be any disrespecting of the flag tonight?

    Six NBA teams playing tonight.

    Does anyone kneel?

    Will there be any demonstrations?

    Mickey, I've always said the Columbus Blue Jackets were made up of a very respectful squad.

    Hopefully they have a great NBA season.

    My money is on there will be a handful of disrespectful NBA gazillionaire players with their BLM rhetoric who collect their gazillion dollar paycheck but at the end of the day go home to their gazillion dollar cribs and donate nothing to the BLM cause and do nothing but fan the flames of racial divide.

    You really think guys like JR Smith gives up any money or time for the inner city poor?
    Do you really think a majority of the BLM athletes actually mean what they say?

    Any players who do not stand will be given technical fouls and beaten with a rubber hose.

    The playing of the anthem is for people that actually attend or play in the game, not for people watching at home.

    Exactly Kermit, if you are in the presence of the flag you respect it while the anthem is playing. If you are 500 miles away in your home watching on t.v. it's hardly the same thing

    If Lady GaGa comes to my house to sing the anthem, I will set up a flag in my living room and stand.

    Nice try but speech was a fake

    ]In reality, Clark Hunt has drawn scrutiny from critics of the national anthem protests because Hunt did not release Chiefs defense back Marcus Peters for protesting before an NFL game on September 18th. We couldn’t find any record of Hunt discussing his views on the player protests, but we can confirm that the locker room speech being circulated did not come from him

    Right

    They had a hot mic on Nantz three weeks ago, he said without knowing there was a live hot mic on him "they'll kneel every time there is a camera pointed on them"

    The audio is out there, look for it.
    It was not controversial, it was not racist, Nantz said it in a matter of fact tone of voice.

    I'm guessing nothing happened before tonight's Cavaliers game? I missed the beginning.

    Is there still kneeling before the NFL games? You never hear about it anymore. I guess the NFL found a way around it. Just take the cameras off of them.

    Why isn't the NBA replace the national anthem with another song..maybe For Those About to Rock..and let the players kneel.

    It seems they always make it a point to show any player that kneels during a primetime game. They usually don't do it until that player does something in the game though.

    Don't you think something in the hip-hop genre might be a little more appropriate, Pavy?

    So, the player will make a great play, and then they'll bring up the fact he kneeled? I guess I haven't been paying close enough attention.

    I think if she actually came to my home to sing the anthem then banging her would be a given.

    Would your wife sit on Lady Gaga's face while you're pounding her?

    The NFL can take some pointers from MLB. All proudly stood during the singing of the National Anthem. No nonsense.
