@rickstrom: MAGA media in the United States is having a field day on social media. After discovering that players for the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries left the court prior to the national anthem being played, pro-Trump podcaster Sage Steele, right-wing sports host Craig Carlton, former ESPN anchor Linda Cohn, and many more ripped the professional basketball league and the WNBA Finals as a whole. Many called for a boycott. Some complained that the athletes must hate America. What they don’t understand is this has been in practice since 2017.

Can we just get rid of the anthem at sports. It’s so unnecessary

Why is the national anthem only played at sporting events? A baseball player , manager and other personnel have to stand for 160 national anthems. No other profession requires that

Why don't this clown just go away. Sage Steele is a MAGA Negro. Sage is Anti Black.

If troops tell you that they don’t care why do you care so much?

In the 1960s John wooden had his team stay in the locker room because of Kareem. Kareem is the most respected player in nba history

First, it was a viewer issue because CC wasn't playing.Oh viewership is going to go down. Now, it's something that's happens for years. Republicans love to attack women.Never a protector of women.

Is it a new song that dropped? Why do they need to stand around when they heard it before and can use it for more coaching time?

Many Americans can not afford to pay their bills and provide food for their families. These evil fools are worried a flag and a song.
