If Dion Waiters cannot show respect to his home country, America, then maybe he should leave the USA and go play for the Afghani Basketball League ...

aren’t there a couple, at least, minor protestant denominations that don’t care for the pledge nor the national anthem???
Sorry. It is still a somewhat free country. Yes, it is appalling and disrespectful. We render honors to countries that are not exactly our friends as sign of respect, but there is no law compelling respect, nor should there be. There is no law that compels you to stand. If there were, showing respect would be completely meaningless as it is done under duress. At least he stays in the locker room. If he sat down on the court, that would be very rude but still not illegal. Perhaps the team has rules he is violating and can be held accountable to? The fans are free to taunt or jeer after the anthem. In fact, how many athletes or fans render the proper respect? Many are talking, looking around, scratching themselves, at the concession stand, walking down the aisle, etc.; hardly respectful.
Other faiths do not stand or acknowledge the flag; Quakers and Amish come to mind.
Was having the trashy like of Aaron Lewis sing the anthem showing respect?
I do not agree with Waiters behavior but he is a free citizen.
Waiters says he is rededicating himself more to his Muslim faith.
In before the beheading.
FROM ESPN TODAY:
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — Dion Waiters said that a report stating he missed the national anthem in Utah earlier this week for religious reasons was a “big misunderstanding,” adding he was undergoing his “normal routine” in the locker room when he lost track of time.
“It was a big miscommunication,” Waiters said after Cleveland Cavaliers’ practice Sunday. “Big misunderstanding. I love my country. I love the United States of America. I’d rather be here than any place else. It was just a big misunderstanding on both parts.”
Blacks are 2nd class citizens in Islam. Guess he’s ok with that.
Instead of his next pay check the owners should just chop his head off.
Another misunderstander of Islam, haven’t they told us Muslims are patriotic Americans making contributions to our society.
Send his ass home! Don’t like this country then don’t try to earn a living using her. We ain’t just a paycheck, jackass!
Wow, proclaiming to be a muslim sure lets one get away with quite a bit..
so will this shite eating muslime still take the evil white man's money with In GOD We Trust on it??? i thought so...
