Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem I liked the article. I had no idea this was happening. Good to know.
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem Really? In what way? IMO, Canzano's last line says it all: "But it doesn't feel like the right moment."
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem That is the line that meant the least to me because it is only his opinion. What I found most interesting is that Brandon steps away during the anthem and why. Something I didn't know about Roy and something I find intersting . . . can't explain why I find it interesting, just do.
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem Roy also hates puppies, apple pie and comic books. Adam Morrison loves these things and more. We should have "Draft the Stache!"
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem Are you kidding?? I definitely see a point in writing about it. I had no idea that Roy stood in the tunnel during the national anthem. What the hell is that all about?? His explanation sounds fishy to me, as well. It sounds like he DOES have a political motivation, and he's just afraid to voice it. I salute Canzano for reporting on this. Count me as one of the people disturbed by this revelation.
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem And you're the ultimate homer, apparently. This IS a story, and I salute Canzano for writing about it.
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem According to Canzano, apparently, Blake uses the bathroom .27 more times than other players during Blazer home games That percentage drops by .42 during road games, though.
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem I'm not a homer, I'm a life-long Blazer fan who thought the days of stories that bring a negative light to my team were over! I served my country and I believe this to be a non issue.
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem Apparently this isn't anything new for Roy. It's old news. Canzano probably sesnse some Roy resentment right now after the Miller thing and is trying to capitalize on it. People with a brain can see right through it. Do what your do, Roy.
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem HCP, you're great and all, but you are a homer . . . not that there is anything wrong with that.
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem You know, I do too think it's strange. And am surprised by all the Canzano hate over this. Maybe it's because many of them are unpatriotic and could care less about the country. But what Brandon Roy is doing is a show disrespect for a country that's been awfully good to him. More like a slap in the face. There should be nothing a wrong with a taking a moment or two and honoring your home country. And really, Roy deciding to take the moment of time for his quiet time is a sign of individualism. Whether any of us want to hear it or not.
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem I'm glad you served your country, and my hat's off to you. However, I happen to think that when the star of the team is standing in the tunnel during the national anthem, it is a major story. This pisses me off tremendously, to tell you the truth. It can't be a coincidence that Roy chooses that particular moment to stand in the tunnel--he's doing it for a reason, and I salute Canzano for reporting it. I already think less of Roy, and will continue to do so until he gives a good reason for his behavior.
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem Really? Someone does something that is different, that you don't personally have an explanation for and you take that to mean he has a political motivation?!? Someone does something that is different, that you don't personally have an explanation for and that disturbs you? Mmmmmm, OK.
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem That's bullshit, and you know it. What Roy is doing is not trivial.
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem It may not be trivial, but I think it's a non-issue. Typical Canzano butt-sniffing, though. No doubt some are concerned. No problemo.
Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem I'm disappointed......my respect for Roy has gone down a few notches this year. Still way up there but not nearly what it was.
