It’s worth pointing out, again, that UConn and Stanford were not on the court for the anthem in their game either.
Why is it only an issue for South Carolina?
Because South Carolina is an SEC team and we are SEC fans on an SEC board.

It wasn’t in protest, or they wouldn’t have come out for the championship game.
I'm pretty sure it was in protest.
Staley explained her mindset to Andscape:
The majority of our players has sat during the playing of the national anthem every game this season – a decision made by our players to bring awareness to racial injustice in our country. If opposing teams choose to play the anthem during the time we’re in the locker room, then we choose to stay in the locker room.

Do they have the right to make statements? Yes. And i have to right to not support them if their political views do not match up with mine.
I have a right to voice my opinion just as much as they have the right to voice theirs. They can voice their opinion all the want due to freedom of speech, but they should not be shocked or dismayed if I choose not to support them and voice a dissenting view.
I'm not sure why liberals feel like they can vice their opinions but nobody else is allowed to if they do not agree.

We know exactly why people have a problem with Dawn Staley.

Did he respect the National Anthem and stand for it?
He did the same as the Dawn and the USCe players before the game

Most long term libertarians are really Liberaltarian. A few exceptions exist but the lower ranks are just “I’m the smartest person in the room” do nothings (other than complain). Neal Boortz sold me on the party in Ga but it didn’t take long to see that actually winning races was at the bottom of their priorities. We have a real old school libertarian in Knox county. He won on name recognition using his own money, WWF/E superstar Kane. No state libertarian party is willing to support any candidate with time or money so he did it himself.

He sat and didn't show up for the National Anthem all year?

I said he did the same thing as them before the game (national championship)
Many seem confused in this thread or just think she is a liar which is an argument I guess

But nobody is criticizing what she did before the National Championship game. (I figured that's what you meant, so ...)

I don't know what she is lying about. She seems to be pretty forthright about what she did and why she did it. I have no problem with her thinking/reasons. She is entitled to her beliefs. I just think there are much more effective ways to make those beliefs known.
Most people and kids are coat tailing on Colin Kapernick, imo. They want to be associated with a certain movement...but only for the notoriety and not for true change. I just don't fully understand what they attempt to accomplish other than to draw attention to themselves. Nobody is discussing the issue they want discussed or changed. They are discussing their disrespect for our nation/flag/National Anthem.
Like I said...if they want violence by the police against African Americans discussed they are failing by their actions. Surely they know and understand this and should seek to change their methods.

There are some in this thread that thought it was before the NC game

You should go back through the thread, this all started because her team wasn't present before one of the games when the anthem was played. She gave a reasoning for why they were not out there which basically boiled down to miscommunication.

That's a head scratcher for me. If the issue truly was to get high profile discussion on police brutality towards AA's then I would think staying out before the National Championship game would be a must. The talking heads on TV would have a field day with it and talk about it for a good portion of that game, and probably before the men's game, as well.
quote:If she said miscommunication....I guess it is possible. But she later on (at least) admitted that it was a protest that had been going on all season long. So, yes. I guess it is fair to say she lied.

I'm pretty sure that someone walking up to you on a crowded street and exercising their freedom to scream at the top of their lungs that you're a disgusting piece of shite would ruin your mood.
Mind you, I'm not saying you're a disgusting piece of shite. I'm just pointing out he very obvious fallacy in your statement.

But the anthem, Pledge of Allegiance and flag do represent the men and women who have given their lives for this country, and it is considered disrespectful to those who lost their lives to not respect those things.
One could argue that assailing a person's rights granted from the First Amendment is a greater affront to those who served and died than the act of exercising said freedoms in the first place.
I'm wondering if you even know what the First Amendment actually says, because you clearly don't know why it doesn't apply here.
Hint: go back and read the first few words.

I know you’re different than a lot of people in this thread, and you have a great heart for others.
But a lot of people criticizing Staley care more about them not coming out for the National Anthem, than they ever have about Jan. 6th.
And people will deflect and say it’s a long time ago, or what about the BLM protests? Which will have nothing to do with my point. I get people arguing that not standing for the National Anthem is disrespectful of America. But if that’s your take, it needs to be consistent across the board.
Smokeyone yesterday was arguing that athletes should be held to a different standard than the crowd for the National Anthem, as if we aren’t all Americans.
I stop what I’m doing. I take my hat off. I stand for the flag. But if people are going to be mad at Dawn (again, not saying this is you) than people need to be consistent about it.

No I dont give two shits. I dont watch games for the national anthem or pregame at all.
I watch it for the wins.
BUT, it would be nice if facts were presented and not just a hit piece. 3 of the 4 teams in the final 4 missed the anthem. They missed it because of a scheduling error and they were still doing their pregame.
Yes Dawn is outspoken, personally I am cool with it, some arent. This was not a protest though. She would have said so
