More "misleading" news. Starting to feel like the "right" has become the "left" in this department. smh

Caitlin Clark….. what an athlete. Glad she played while I was alive.  I’ve gotten past the NA thing. Just don’t kneel in protest.

Standing is not the issue.  Mulkey, for anyone who knows anything about her, would never allow kneeling.  I would think anyone with any connection to Baylor would know that.  The issue is the practice

I simply made the point that I think athletes should be present for the National Anthem, not specifically about a particular coach or team.  Apparently myself, as well as the governor of LA didn't realize this was so common in college basketball, not for any other reason than final preparation.

I still think they should be present, simply out of respect.

I think you are one of the majority that feels all teams should be present for the National Anthem.  It's clear if your team is not there then that means you don't want to.  Again, it's not that difficult to have your team on the floor when it's played.

But I also want it to be the school's choice, certainly wouldn't want government involved in mandating something like this, which is being floated around.

Are you for real or have you been trolling us all this time?

Disrespectful or not, first amendment applies here... why is it the same ones complaining about rights etc being taken away have an issue with this? Hypocrisy at its finest SMH

So if a player is Muslim, should they be allowed to roll out their mat and worship Allah in the middle of a game?

Freedom of religion, right?

You don’t even understand what you’re talking about, they absolutely do have the right to do that, but the school has the right to take disciplinary action, it happens with what kids say on social media, they have the right to say it, but the school can punish them for breaking protocol.

If I set in a meeting tomorrow with a customer and my boss and rag on our company, I have the first amendment right to say it, but they have the right to fire me for saying it.

You’re first amendment right argument that folks are immune to consequences is bogus.

I would like to see schools set protocol to stand for the National Anthem, if you don’t, there may be consequences, but it should entirely be up to the school.

SMH, glad to know you're anti 1st amendment! Sounds like you encourage more upper involvement to set "protocol"... when did I say anyone was immune to consequences? Guess I'd rather no 1 tell me what I can and can't do within my rights.. sounds like your for more government involvement.. again, hypocrits

Last post on this subject for me, you and @Reagan enjoy

It's a shame you don't understand that there are sometime consequences to saying something, even though it is guaranteed under you first amendment rights.

Most folks learn that at an early age, apparently you didn't.

Someone may have already posted this, but "they" should mandate the National Anthem be the last thing before tip-off so all have the chance to be present. At that point, there are no more excuses.

And just like that, the  outrage puzzle has been solved (and I’m not being facetious - the best solutions are the simplest).

But only mandated by the school, wouldn’t you agree?

Normally the player introductions are the last thing done just before tip off.  Do the anthem right before or right after that.  Only issue is normally bands play school song right after anthem.  Those would need to be done ahead of time to keep it from being too long.

No they don't.  

 

As far back as 1943, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that requiring all public school students to recite the pledge of allegiance was a violation of their First Amendment rights, because free speech includes the right not to speak against your beliefs (West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943)

Being present on the floor for team protocol is not the same thing.

. You can't make them  be present and then snatch schlorships if they refuse. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen

Funny how they used to sign off all 3 networks with the National Anthem. They had the 1st amendment way back then. I guess they just failed to exercise their rights. The National Anthem has been played at most every sporting event I can recall. We also said the Pledge of Allegiance every day in school. I think they started getting away from that when the atheist’s lawsuit kept prayer out of school. Maybe the term allegiance scares the communists. Funny how that offends people and their 1st amendment rights NOT to say it overrule everybody else’s right TO say it.

      Kristi Noem Kills Dog

      Well, the ones who are upset by this are the same ones who can’t define a woman. There was another woman who everybody came down on for hunting. We are a nation of the offended.

      For what it’s worth, polling after this came out show her with an 81% disapproval rating.  Only 21% of republicans said she’d be a good choice for veep, and only 28% of self-identified “very conservative” voters said she’s a good option.  Bragging about killing a dog apparently resonates poorly across political affiliations.

      They don’t, and they won’t.  May not be an issue in South Dakota, but certainly is on the national stage.  Even my mother in law, who strictly watches OAN and thinks Trump is a great guy who’s never committed a crime in his life is completely disgusted by this.  I know about bad dogs, and don’t have an issue with what she did,  and I’m sure most of us on here agree.  But as is often this case, it’s not going to be our opinions that decide this election.  I thought she might be a valuable running mate that could bring in the female vote, but I’m hoping Trump has the sense to stay away from her now.

      I like the approach, here it is, if you don’t like it don’t vote for me, it’s refreshing to see the Ronald Reagan approach. Not every statement needs to be based on a perceived reaction from folks. Don’t think for a minute democrats didn’t have this knowledge, just not the right time to use it, remember Romney and the dog carrier, they knew.
