The latest executive order is that the Chinese national anthem is required before each game.

;-)

“But WE are the anti-American insurrectionists.”

If you question a leftists patriotism they become apoplectic.

Do u think it’s played BEFORE EVERY sporting event because it’s so popular?

FIRST: Faulty premise! Have never heard it played before golf tournaments or chess tournaments.

SECOND: Because it's popular? No! Rather, but when it's played, it's because it's tradition.

Regards,

It just another step in destroying what was part of the American culture.

This wasn’t a problem until players started participating. Perhaps keeping them in the locker room until it’s over would be the best solution. For 80 years it was that was until 9/11.

The American culture will be destroyed when no new generations of Americans inherit it; THAT is the root of this problem. How many people under 25 today are “American”?

“Normally you’re right but NBA is going after the urban crowd so it’s not really affecting their audience.”

The players, yes. The TV audience, yes, in part.

But the in-person audiences are a bunch of upper middle class white guys who send their kids to public school and typically vote for Republicans - total dingbats, trying to help the country by voting Republican, but, at the same time, destroying their kids so they can keep up with the Jones in their deed-restricted neighborhoods, while ‘proving’ they’re ‘not racist’ by driving into The City to watch a bunch of black millionaires play basketball.

...until a brave fan stands up, hand over his heart and begins singing the National Anthem and the crowd joins in.

After this happens at a few games in a row and news gets out, he’ll return to the anthem again in the face of patriotic scorn

...I hope

I’m not nba fan, nor do I live in that area, but would pay for tickets, if to only be THAT fan.

I always sing along. Even at home.

Actually, especially at home. Not an easy song to sing. It’s easy to start too high or too low.
