re: Do you care if your coach does this if you win a natty

As covered not an intentional slight, the team was out there on Sunday

Dawn was an Olympic flag bearer for crying out loud. Has coached team USA.

I wonder if all these people who think that kneeling, or protesting against the flag national/anthem and believe it is disrespectful to the troops/country... Realize that a lot service members intentionally stay indoors to avoid Reveille & Retreat...

So to those people who are accusing USC of hiding in the locker room to avoid the national anthem...so does 75% of the military guess we are just as unpatriotic

I do not give a damn for this yankee nation and expect it to collapse from blight and not learning lessons as old as time. But I respect those that fought and died for it. At sporting events on a team playing you are present and stand for the flag and national anthem be it yours or the host country or the team you are playing against.

Have some respect for this country and the people that died so we could enjoy these freedoms you pos

I think they get a pass. This isn’t the first time South Carolina kept their distance from the Union

This doesn’t make sense when the US spends 9 times more on its military than the next closest nation, yet refuses to provide vets a functional VA, address vet homelessness, or provide social services for vets suffering mental illness. If your end goal is supporting the troops your time would be better spent addressing real issues that vets face.

Hope you didn’t pull a muscle reaching like that. Imagine trying to use a war in ukraine as your argument for forcing ppl to stand during a song.

You're the one reaching bud. Nobody has said anything about forcing someone to stand and you're free to do what you want without legal repercussions but you certainly are not free from criticism. The anthem is a powerful unifying symbol and not standing for it seen as a form of disrespect for an easy majority of Americans.

The fact that it is liberal or conservative doesn't matter. If I think it wrong I won't support it. If there were a conservative cause that the coach and team supported and sat out for the national anthem I would do the same. It is poor sportsmanship.

I don't really root for people to fail, I just would not be a fan and not follow the team any longer.

Edit, the reason that I would hope they lose is so we could replace the leadership and I could start following the team again.

If everyone started to think on the notion of 'What does that have to do with me?' anytime some shite happens we would be much better off.

I don't care what any of y'all do so feel free to continue to bitch at will.... Because it doesn't affect me. SWIDT?

I see you in here showing us exactly how little you care with post after post.

OK It appears that South Carolina didn't do it on purpose, so it seems as if it were just an oversight. But a mistake you should do your best not to make in these times we are living.

Also back when the players knelt, Staley and the coaches did not.

Baw, congrats on the win. Well deserved.

But that is a bad look.

Especially for an SEC team.
