      Man I remember when that happened. He got cut from the team and no other NBA team signed him, so for all the good they project they never bring that up.

      I wonder if he prayed for the yemen children being genocided by the saudi’s or the kurds.

    lol everyone was all for kneeling when it was NFL players. But once they realised it was banned in the NBA, now they want the players to protest another way? They should kneel as well. Let’s see if Adam Silver is going to enforce their rules

    They kneel in the premier league and absolutely nobody is triggered by it. Only in America is it such an issue.

      Too many idiots in America brainwashed by military propaganda is why they get so triggered by kneeling here.

    They should all stand but turn their backs. Then kneeling wouldn’t feel so bad all of a sudden.

    Richard Jefferson is himself missing that what happened to Collin was an injustice. That’s why it matters.

    We don’t need the National Anthem before the game period. Just eliminate this uncomfortable tradition. They can address the crowd before the game or answer reporters in pre or postgame interviews about their causes and their messages.

    It’s a bummer that everyone in the NBA isn’t black and I bet it will take a lot of courage not to join in. It’s okay to think differently then the sheep.

    NBA players make millions of the black and white folks and said he’s oppressed.

    they shouldn’t kneel it will distract from the movement. take Kap for example his actions just caused more division. let’s stay focused make a point that everyone will understand (unlike kneeling) and get the systemic changes we want.

    Silver is going to ruin the NBA in America. This isn’t going to work outside the MSM. BLM on the floor, kneeling, protests in jerseys, and Silver saying he supports China the day China arrested the first protestor in Hong Kong and threw him in prison for years. Lefties can’t see 2 inches outside of their world.

    This is why kneeling during the anthem is a bad protest. It doesn’t focus on the issue.

    Protesting while disrespecting…sounds good…(nah…)

    Peaceful protesting is different from disrespectful protest and non patriotic for that matter…

    Up until now Mr. Silver has been an immense improvement over Stern! Hope his common sense prevails!
