NBA player Dion Waiters informs he is a Muslim and plans to skip national anthems

[paper boy]

139. Dion plays a game, gets paid a lot of money to do it, and then disrespects the country

that enabled him to become wealthy playing a game. That's my judgment.

I can create "infinite" amounts of money? I do not think that word means what you think it means.
It's pretty obvious that I was saying you reap the benefits of living in a country that can create infinite amounts of capital to finance and maintain a standard of living envied throughout the world and which would not be possible were it not for decisions made by leaders from both political parties and that it's more than a little bit hypocritical to live in this country reaping those benefits while denouncing those decisions especially if you have reaped the benefits to the tune of millions of petro-dollars. If it bothers such a person so much that they have to engage in BS stunts like skipping the national anthem, they should just pack up their bags and be on their way and if they can't, certainly don't expect me to be impressed by your statement. That's really all I'm saying.

We either show public displays of reverence to the national anthem, or are "anti-american"? Ohhhhkay.
I don't think I laid it out quite like that.


You did not comment on the environment but seem to be saying it doesn't matter what someone does, so long as they do public displays of Patriotism (tm) like standing for the anthem, or perhaps wearing a flag pin. I disagree.
I think I have made my point abundantly clear and I'm done here. I may actually have to catch a cavalier game just so I can watch Dion sing along to the SSB. Let's play ball Dion.
