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.

I married at 43 and had only one 45. But I survived cub and boy scout camps!

Suggestions for a boycott are kind of pointless, since no one watches the WNBA anyway.

I’ve never understood the point of the kneeling. To whom are they kneeling?

At some point, enough irritated fans (or former fans) are going to accept that football, baseball, basketball, tennis, soccer, car racing, the Olympics and any other sport infested with wokesters are completely unnecessary to their lives. I hope the crybabies can pick up enough fans elsewhere to sustain their livelihood.

The point of the kneeling is to do the opposite of rising for the anthem. They aren’t kneeling to anyone.

If these overpaid clowns make political statements I respond with my own political statement...”see ya!” I used to look forward to Sunday afternoons. Now I look at my iPad. I wonder what these jokers will do at the Olympics?

That’s great! Sadly, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts aren’t what they used to be.

They just walked off the court

Not returning to the court should have been “step two”.

They’re mostly retarded, so they don’t know.
Just lemmings following lemmings.

That is fine with me, provided they leave their game uniforms behind, along with a letter resigning from the team and forfeiting any and all benefits/retirement and continue out the door onto the street. And never be allowed to play on any sports team.

Yeah, they could pile them on top of the ‘blm’ stenciled on the court.

“They just walked off the court as the national anthem played...”

How about just staying OFF the court permanently, skanks?

You are so right. I became an eagle scout in 1966.
I was an assistant scoutmaster and merit badge counsellor until about 8 years ago. I was also a charter representative for both a pack and a troop until last year.

Don’t worry. ESPN will give them a fat TV contract so they can continue operations.
