SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — The day after the first Kings’ preseason game, the buzz is all about what happened before the first play. Singer Leah Tysse took the microphone to sing the national anthem, then she took a knee – and took the audience by surprise.
--SNIP--
Bay Area Singer Leah Tysse took the opportunity to make a statement of her own on Tuesday night by kneeling on the court while singing the national anthem.
She explained her decision on Facebook: “Taking a knee felt like the most patriotic thing I could do. I cannot idly stand by as black people are unlawfully profiled, harassed and killed by our law enforcement over and over without a drop of accountability.”

Who gives a #### about one some dumb #### did.
It’s already boring and outdated and she made herself a fool.
The real revolution is the Trump revolution.
I stopped paying attention to such nonsense.
Great career move btw. Helped the NFL ratings tremendously. /s
I wish shehad sung the 4th verse.
O, thus be it ever when free men shall stand,
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation.
Blessed with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise The Power that has made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: In God is our trust.
And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Patriotic? More like Idiotic.
"Nobody knows the trouble I've seen."
Bet this snowflake has NO comment on the THOUSANDS of blacks who are murdered by OTHER BLACKS
Disgraceful. NO class.
...nor about the unborn black children murdered by Dems in the abortion mills.
Looks like she didn’t kneel till she got to “land of the free” part?
Attention whore
Good post. I’m sick of these pustules getting airtime..
Armed criminals firing back at officers are not being unlawfully killed.
Resisting arrest is not lawful. Breaking laws and fighting with cops that are trying to arrest you for breaking laws is not lawful.
Bet this snowflake has NO comment...
But she did ask “did they spell my name right?”
NBA will be rife with this garbage, already happened with Chris Jackson, er Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf back in 93.
If she is so moved by the oppression of the Black People she should have self-immolated on center court following the example of that Buddhist monk back during the Viet Nam War.
That is the proper way to bring attention to the oppressions heaped on people by the United States.
A-hole.
She should immediately follow up on this highly principled “stand” and go straight to the nearest International Airport, media reporters in tow, and get on a plane for an African country where black people run everything and things are done RIGHT. Of course, she won’t go THAT far for her principles.
Hey, Leah! Take that dumba$$ dog and pony show to Chicago! Confront the issue of black on black murder, then you MIGHT have a case for shenanigans like this.
You are a disgrace to America and Americans of all colors.
‘without a drop of accountability?’
These people are delusional.
