WNBA players decide not to kneel during national anthem — they just walk off the court instead

Forget taking a knee during the national anthem. That's so yesterday.

As far as the WNBA is concerned, the NFL — and now Major League Baseball — can have that protest to themselves.

Instead, the New York Liberty and the Seattle Storm pulled out a new move: They just walked off the court as the national anthem played, EPSN reported.

Before these antics I had NO desire to watch a WNBA game. Now, after much thought and careful consideration, I STILL have NO desire to watch a WNBA game.

Not that I would be watching anyway.
Why does everyone think they need to bring their politics and opinions into their business, job description or hobbies these days?

The skunks should have kept walking. Out of the building and to their homes.

When I think of the ‘woman’ in the WNBA, I think of this quote from Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo:

“Would you like to park your bicycle in my airplane hanger”

WNBA players walking off the court brings to mind the old question ‘If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, did it really fall?’

Off Topic:
If we’re talking girl groups of the 1990’s, I just found out that I like a lot of TLC’s work. I found this out some 20 years after they were most famous. “Waterfall”, What About Your Friends?, Get It Up!” are some of my favorites.
I heard these before, but only now do I pay attention and listen. This is back before most Rap degenerated in quality.

Pretty easy to walk away from NBA games. Thanks for the example, turkeys. Live with the consequences of the pro-China, anti-America sentiments.

Chinese national anthem
March of volunteers

https://youtu.be/UctriMuXYS0

Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves!
With our flesh and blood, let us build a new Great Wall!
As China faces its greatest peril
From each one the urgent call to action comes forth.
Arise! Arise! Arise!
Millions of but one heart
Braving the enemies’ fire! March on!
Braving the enemies’ fire! March on!
March on! March, march on

I’ll be interested to see what happens during the next Atlanta Flame game, Sen. Kelly Loeffler is a part-owner of the team, and I expect her team will try and publicly embarrass her.

I just thought of the classic South Park episode:

Stan Marsh : What the hell are you doing, Cartman?

Cartman : My Mom said if you want to become a lesbian, you have to lick carpet.

Kyle Broflovski : Really?

Stan Marsh : Well, I got a Indigo Girls CD, the guy at the record store said it was perfect

[puts the CD in the player]

Kyle Broflovski : I got these killer Birkenstocks.

Stan Marsh : This is a bunch a’ crap! I’ve been licking this carpet for three hours and I still don’t feel like a lesbian!

> Play the national anthem first, then let them come out of the locker room. <

I would love to have been in charge of the sound system. I’d play the national anthem as usual. And if the “ladies” walk off, so be it.

But as soon as they returned to the court, I’d play the national anthem again. Rinse and repeat until someone drags me away from the sound controls.

something going on with the Marlins in the MLB

Rumor multiple players with Covid. Bookies took the Money line bet down while it shakes out.

I can confirm at least one Miami Marlins player has tested positive for COVID-19.
