    He can pray 24 hours a day. He doesn't have to do it during the national anthem.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    How could he pray for 24 hours a day and avoid doing so during the national anthem? ;)

    He's disrespecting the separation of Church and State!

    how does standing on the court listening show he cares any mroe than standing in the tunnel listening? If he hears it either way, sees the flag either way. Thinks the same thoughts while hearing it either way. Do you think that Rudy, Batum, etc. any other foreign born player care about the national anthem? Do our players care when they stand for oh Canada, feel deeply for the canadian national anthem?

    The national anthem plays somewhere in the world on any given minute of a 24 hours day. Now you are geographically insensitive!

    Next time I am in the RG I am going to run on the court when they play the national anthem. I don't want to be un-respectful!

    Maybe he wants to celebrate the anthem by himself instead of with all the SHEEP!

    or maybe he's doing it ironically, maybe he's a hipster!

    I think it's Andre Miller's fault.

    He's doing it because he was lured there from BBB.net for the mod's profits!

    17 pages on this topic? Looks like Crapzano accomplished his goal of getting a reaction out of something that has no signifigance.

    Schonz was on the BFT, and even he (a vet) thought this was not worth worrying about.

    Which leads me to the obvious question, why does Bill hate our troops and our country? Doesn't he realize HIS people own the team and is the commissioner of the NBA? How can he hate the country?
