Stanford Women's basketball team disrespect during National Anthem
ESPN Televised game | April 9, 2008 | Richard Smith

Posted on 04/09/2008 11:35:16 AM PDT by TNoldman

Did anyone else notice the lack of respect by the Stanford women who were playing for the Championship against Tennessee last night?

Openly not holding hand over heart when the National Anthem was played. A bunch of losers. Reminds me of BHO.

I didn’t realize anyone actually watched that game.

TV has been trying to promote it for year despite poor attendance and dismal ratings.

I was on Politico a few minutes ago and someone there was saying that the photo of Obama with his hands folded in front of him while Richardson, Hillary and some other women all hand their hands on their hearts is photoshopped and has been debunked over and over.
Some of the reasons are
1. The shadows are going different ways
2. What is holding up the flag?
3. Why are they looking different ways?

I noticed that there seems to be something funny about the scale of the people as they relate to each other.

Hope Freepers can shed some light on this.

Coming from Stanford I am surprised that they even stood up.

Stanford is in the SF Bay area, so their lack of respect is no big surprise. Nevertheless, the National Anthem was terribly sung last night.

That’s a video from the place where the allegedly photoshopped photo was taken. The picture does look funny, but the video ain’t lyin’.

Yeah, BUNK

This wasn't the only photo - plus Obamamama himself defended it - not denied it.

The shadows are going different ways

BUNK again. You need only check the shadows of oabamama and Richardson, standing side by side and with feet at the same parallel - the shadows on clothing and from feet back are exactly the same.

Good try, Politico. But no laundry.

PS - I 'm a photographer and spent years as an investigative reporter. I look for these things

When did “holding a hand over the heart” become necessary to prove loyalty or respect?

Obama’s failure to wear a flag pin, a simple gesture and common among politicians, is more alarming.

thanks for the link to the video = PROOF - that of the 9 people on the stage, obamama was the only one who did a crotch salute.

got that link saved for future attempts like Politicos

I hold my hand over my heart if I’m holding a hat. I’ve never held my hand over my heart otherwise.

I did watch one game--UConn beating the nappy-headed hos and their race-victim coach Stringer. It was a real pleasure to see them go down (pun intended).

Tuesday May 4, 1937, I believe.

Seriously, I am not sure why you directed that at me. I have not commented on their loyalty or lack there of.

Personally, I have no interest in a University whose mascot is a Dog's toilet or whose nickname is a color.

“Seriously, I am not sure why you directed that at me.”

I should have hit “reply” to #1.
