WEST POINT, N.Y. -- New York Knicks center Joakim Noah says he skipped a team dinner at the West Point Military Academy that featured cadets and a speech by a former colonel because he is against war.
Noah added he had "mixed feelings" about spending time at the West Point Military Academy, where the Knicks are holding training camp this week, because he is opposed to the idea of young troops fighting in wars.

How would he propose defending the country?
“This country’s out of control. Kids killing kids.” This country?
It’s not so great to be a Florida Gator at the moment.
Oh great, now we get to hear all the dim-witted political opinions of everybody in pro sports, and why? Were they hired because of their political insight, their erudition? Obviously not.
Shut up and play.
The best thing that could happen is that we stopped watching and buying sports junk.
“Run up and down the court and put the round thing through the hoop. From the top Joakim....the top!”
He’s Fwench and not American. F him.
because he is opposed to the idea of young troops fighting in wars
Someone tell him that would be in Africa
mot s good BB player either. Reminds me of a football player in SF. Rides the bench a lot
I stopped watching football at any level when the overpaid and undertalented jerk from the 49ers took a knee at the National Anthem.
About the only sport I watch anymore is professional golf, and I am thankful that it is not populated by a bunch of tatted up thugs.
Psst, go back to France you jerk...
Silly! With flowers and reggae music!
(Napoleon Dynamite) "Uh! Sheesh!"
He would prefer old troops fighting in wars?
Careful what you ask for dear boy.
I refuse to support professional sports. It’s little more than a producer left-wing propaganda these days.
Pacifists are the parasites of freedom.
I say we hand the ugly POS over to the muzzies and see if he wants our military to defend him.
He would be begging and crying for our military to defend him.
He would be begging for the police if his life was threatened here.
He was getting his ass kicked by the Heat even when Lebum was there. He’s a shell of his former self. He’s always motivated though but the frog puke should STFU when you’re in America.
Oh, he left France and came to America for a better paying
job, instead of trying to help France protect it’s citizens from trouble makers. Take away his green card. Keep him out of West Point, he’s not fit to walk on their property.
There will always be stupid people among us.
