She’s officially joining the black nationalist, black supremacist movement. I doubt it will cost her to many fans. The NBA is overwhelmingly black so I doubt the NBA will be badly hurt by catering to said movements. They might lose a few fans/viewers but the NBA long ago lost Joe Sixpack as a fan. What remains to be seen is if the NFL is going to follow the NBA model of running off average American fans by catering to inner city gang culture. So far the answer appears to be yes.

Thank goodness baseball (thus far) will have none of this nonsense. Astros v Yankees has been great BB, go yanks, game 7 tonight.

I’ll buy her a ticket to any country she likes, but she can never come back here to insult America.

Next time someone hires an anthem-singer, they might subconsciously make some additional precautionary considerations about their hire.

Attention whore.

Nope. Just plain whore. A piece of lowlife garbage spitting on the opportunities the county she purports to hate gives her.
