I’ll admit you kinda lost me there with the Whitney Houston bit.

If KJH and her team have come to an understanding, knowing what comes along with it...they are being responsible under the current rules.

Playing the National Anthem is not gonna go away, but teams at every level have been dealing with this in every possible way since Colin Kapernick (sp?).

It in no way rises to the level of Trump’s abuse of Twitter.

Lol I love her music, but also acknowledge her flaws. Same as America, I love her song and I love her in general... but I acknowledge her issues.

Nope. It is the ABSOLUTE dumbest way to "show your frustration". Do something else. KNEELING during the NA will automatically piss off at least 50% of your fan base. WHY do that? People are so into the "look at me, Im woke" BS, they don't think about what their doing. Im pretty damn SURE that Pat Summitt wouldve told them its NOT happening, they can figure out something a bit smarter. You did hear the boos, right? Yeah... again, great look.

The bad look belongs only to the goons booing. Not only do they embarrass themselves they harm UT’s reputation. Pat Summit had the opportunity to see first hand the challenges young black people face. I think she would support her players.

Ones that respect the ladies for the tremendous effort they give as Lady Vols. Say you disagree with them on this issue, without the snark. It happens I totally support the men and women in Blue 100% and hope the girls grow to understand how hard their lives would be without their protection. I wish they would get to know the daughters and sons of police men and women and see how difficult their lives are. Maybe. It would change some minds. Demeaning labels only make things worse.

Hey guys 5 people died which is one more than Benghazi, so I guess you'll support 4 years of repeated investigations huh?

One died from being trampled while holding a gadsden flag. One died from tazing himself in the junk and I think with had a stroke. No need to investigate stupidity

Respect is something that’s deserved, not given. As long as they disrespectful to the anthem, the flag or the nation. And kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful and I don’t care if you believe or not. So calling them “chicks” is a better term than what they really deserve.

And an UNARMED woman, Ashli Babbitt, was murdered by a policeman. Maybe that is what the Tennessee basketball players were protesting.

Of course it is for a-holes with the same beliefs as you. Rioting is rioting ..... I didn’t see any fires repeatedly set or a city block barricaded off and taken over. Tell yourself whatever makes you feel better.

It really wasn't. Police were attacked while businesses and federal buildings were burned in multiple cities. All this was barely condemned by democrat lawmakers and was routinely described as mostly peaceful. Wednesday paled in comparison to what has occurred this year

The White House did not lower the flag to half-staff after the death of an officer at the Capital, and people wanna talk about basketball players. SMDH.

LeBron Complains About Being Black In American In Reaction To Capitol Breach: ‘You Will Never Understand’

NBA superstar and millionaire LeBron James turned the breach on the U.S. Capitol into an issue about race while speaking to the press on Thursday.

The athlete claimed that black protesters would have been treated more harshly than Trump supporters at the Capitol, where one white protester, a female Air Force veteran, was fatally shot in the neck by an officer.

James also wore a t-shirt that read, “Do you understand now,” apparently to highlight alleged systemic racism in the U.S.
