Yep. Yet if you're black our police often certainly treat black men like they were in NK.
Hear, hear!
Yes, as they well should!

Has there been a backlash? Haven't heard of anything if true. Heard far more people give props to pop for his comments.
Is it a really a distraction? People use that world all the time. Taking a knee during the anthem probably isn't going to change the outcomes of games that would be an distraction.
Hypothetical: if the center snaps the ball to the QB and then both teams just stand there and do nothing, does the clock just keep running or will the refs call the play dead? I can just imagine two teams coordinating to bleed an entire quarter on one play. If they want a real storm that would do it.
So Pop could use this to his advantage to rest players?
Cool, tell me what that has to do with a player taking a knee minutes before a game?
No one has ever accused the players who chose to take part in non violent protest to have played less hard or sabotaging their teams chances of winning so I don't get the point of your hypothetical.
I'd seriously doubt that silver would suspend players, a fine is probably it. Considering NBA players make far more money than the average NFL player, it is probably chump change and no real disincentive.
It's trending, and blacks are slaves to trends, so you can expect a lot of kneeling.
This is a falsehood that needs to stop being perpetuated. The NFL only changed that for primetime games. They were already out on the field before that.
I hope not. Manu is old and a 50 year old bare knee on hardwood isn't the same as a padded knee on grass.
It would be a much more extreme version of protest, actually hitting the league where it hurts. Can you imagine a whole quarter without commercial breaks?
I admit that it's a silly thought, and in football it would throw off the balance of the game.
You couldn't even post that in North Korea.
Yes, but the players care too much about their stats for that. Not to mention bonuses that kick in on performance / snap count.
Question is will pop ever get off his knees?
San Antonio is a pretty big military city. That wouldn't be wise. And what backlash have they received? The seasons hasn't even started.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Poop kneel and click off the flag during the anthem tbh.
You can bet your ass Poop would stand at attention and salute for the playing of the Internationale tbh.
I usually say, "I don't give a fraction of a ."
At this point, I give negative s (i.e. less than zero).
I've read there's a video out there of pop pissing on the flag while praising Che.
That would just be stupid. I don't get why people who are complaining about Trump's ty ideas or declarations should kneel during the national anthem or spit on the flag. Trump is a dumbass but he doesn't stand for USA, despite being the president, he just stands for his crap ideas.
I knew that ! Popovich is a Russian spy who managed to stay under the radar since the Cold War. Send him to Guantanamo !
The players are using their platform to call attention to racial injustice during the national anthem. Carrying it over to the actual game isn't just silly it goes against the actual point of protesting during the national anthem thats why it would never happen.
