Lady Vols - National Anthem

[SpaceCoastVol]

I served,
so Americans can have a voice.
Not to censor it.

I do not agree with disrespecting the flag or National anthem in any way
But I also believe in the freedoms I served to protect.

I detest Collin Kapernick for starting this unpatriotic display,
but I do not agree with crushing the voice of these kids either.
And I feel holding them in their dressing rooms while the anthem is played is equally disrespectful

And calling them "overprivileged pampered unappreciative brats" is, again,
equally disrespectful

They don't even know what they are protesting.

that cop killed poor black man with his knee. no way knee shouldbe use but to get knive or out hands. then get off of supest. cuff him and get med help if needed. protest liked ut had on campus say something in press conf. press needs to say players do have something on your mind.

73 homicides year to date in Chicago alone. About half black and half Hispanic. Where are all the protests about those lives? And guess what... they weren't killed by white cops.

Hypocrites.

First off LOL at all this crying over the anthem.

Bunch of snowflakes getting mad over kneeling.

As far as turnovers goes, too many times our big girls are just clunky in terms of ball handling. Also can't remember how many times I've seen rebounds bounce off hands (even though we are a great rebounding team overall). Think sometimes we overinvest in size over talent and finesse.

Did you serve in the military?

 

[mudcat1973]

yes, the admin did and it started that sh__storm.
You don't just take away your player's voice by holding them hostage
uncool
no matter what your opinion of the kneel thing-uncool

Well then F them too

 

[Vol Main]

I agree. I've just seen a lot of defense of the Capitol rioters around here lately.

Lord only knows how many people posting in this forum are pro-Russian fascists. Some know what they are doing. Others are just ignorantly useful idiots.

 

[USAFgolferVol]

Well then F them too

Your selective and reactionary outrage is of no surprise

 

[TNVOLNAVY]

Well then F them too

If not for this thread I had forgotten they existed. Quit paying attention years ago when the team turned into nothing but alphabet people and thugs.

It’s a free country so if they make that choice .... I can choose to say F them. I can also say that your response to me indicates you’re most likely the same as they are and FU2.... biatch

One thing is certain though.... most of us know who the mentally challenged posters are

Nope. I am indifferent as to their decision. It's not nearly as cut and dry as someone making them do it. It doesn't affect me in any way. I would prefer they come out and stand at attention for the anthem, but it's not my decision to infringe upon their rights

Nor is it mine.... but I certainly have the right to voice my displeasure with their decision

So, if they piss off a few thousand fans and they stop coming to the the games is that their right as well? Those scholarships don't fund themselves do they?

Yes you do. Thank goodness you live in a country where you can be pissed all the time over words and actions that have nothing to do with you.Being a thin skinned wus is also a right

 

[USAFgolferVol]

If, if, if.....we'll see if their attendance is down as a direct result of this when we're back to pre-pandemic norms

 

[mudcat1973]

so if nfl fans stop coming do not want to see a player take a knee to usa flag. its their right. nfl owners do not want average quartback on team because he costing them and the other players their right too. dont let main steam media shut you up. free speech is for right and left or what you are.

 

[Lerxtwood]

Or burn down cities. Either one.

Both stupid decisions done by radicals on each side.

Too bad no cities were burned down. Kind of screws with the narrative doesn’t it?

 

[GSD82]

They don't even know what they are protesting.

If they didn’t pull this absolutely no one would be paying attention to them.

Eh, no biggie huh?

My local paper had an article this morning about the Lady Vol BB player's kneeling at the playing of the national anthem, and that now they stay in the locker room during the playing. I don't know how I missed this but if It's true they can play on without my support. As a veteran and with family members who have served and died for the flag I take great exception with this. They have a right for their belief's and I have mine!
