Default WOW - I Thought I Have Seen It All!

SEE IT: National anthem singer at Heat game takes knee - NY Daily News

A woman singing the national anthem while kneeling and wearing a black lives matter t-shirt. Just a fact, as seen in the video.

Old discussion but it keeps alive her right to do something like this but it so disrespectful in many ways. This tends to divide us as a nation and not try to heal open wounds. IMHO

I even resent people cheering for the game to start before the national anthem is finished but that's me.

Next week will anyone care or remember who she is? Gave up on this sport couple of decades ago as they changed the game to the players.

Take a knee, cut the microphone. Someone has got to take a stand...no pun intended.

If she doesn't like it here she can leave. It would be good riddance IMHO.

I can't even believe what I just witnessed. My blood is boiling. I am going to follow my own new direction for myself. I'm going to compose myself and just teach the little ones in my family that such things are just wrong. The football player that started all this upset me too much. I'm here to be happy not in misery because of such foolishness.

Screw their rite to express themselves, who the hell is going to stand up for my point of view that this is wrong?

I wonder if both candidates would express their thoughts about this expression of freedom. This is horse****.

I am standing up for your point of view that this is wrong.
Black lives matter, all lives matter, back the blue.
And please, stand up and show respect during the National anthem.
