They don't.
The Spurs have already received backlash from Pop and his opinions on Trump. I assume most of the people who are disappointed and plan to boycott the Spurs are already accounted for. But what are the implications if the most respected coach and NBA franchise take a knee during the anthem?
They don't.
So tired of this. I don't really care if someone stands, kneels...whatever. This isn't ing North Korea.
Thank u!
Half the team is not even from the US
If anyone does, Pop is my bet.
What backlash? Most media outlets with half a brain applauded Pop for sharing his opinions.
This, no one outside of pop cares much about politics
Its more like NK than you think
team went to see Chi-Raq and had John Carlos come in. Team went together to see Birth of a Nation too iirc
They should do handstands during the anthem. It's a win-win, they're standing & they're protesting.
Spurs will kneel after starting whistle is blown
No, because they're not dumbasses
Silver will fine or make them sit out games
Against rules
Protesting what ?
No...it's not. I'm not oblivious to what's going on.
There's a rule in the NBA rulebook prohibiting this. They can get fined and/or suspended for breaking that rule.
It is also noteworthy to note that before 2008ish, the NFL did not have teams come out during the national anthem. The Department of Defense paid the league to come out during the National Anthem as a sort of advertisement for the Military. It was a multi-million dollar deal.
Doubt it. Pop put his opinion out there already and will leave at that I hope. Don't need any distractions this season.
I hope not. I just got rid of all my Spurs stuff. Pop was funny the first times, but not anymore.
No one did anything at the Orlando game. I think this has run it's course. An example of the lack of forethought in all of this is that dumbass broad from ESPN who went off on Jerry Jones and called for a boycott of some specific Cowboy sponsors. Some of which sponsored her OWN SHOW.
This^. Thank you!
Dumbass broad? Please explain.........
