Self promotion at its worst. Should the NBA ban this individual from the privilege of singing the national anthem at one of their games?
This is placing politics over country and one trying to make a name for themselves. I am sure this individual is going to those inner city districts where illegal gun owners are placing innocent families in constant fear. I'm sure this individual is fighting for enforcement of the laws within these inner cities to ensure the innocent lives of families are safe. Self promotion an insult to the NBA and all those in attendance.

So if someone who sings the National Anthem at a sport event is wearing a shirt that promotes a political issue/cause you happen to agree with... they should also ban that person? Surely your not suggesting that only those who mirror your political perspective should be able to express a political opinion.

Why in the hell would you agree to sing the National Anthem if you just intended to disrespect the very song you were singing? I think the players, coaches, and owners of the NATIONAL football league, and NATIONAL basket ball league should look at the first word in all three tittles used in this post! If you don't want to be known as a NATIONAL league then get the hell out! or change your name, something like "Only Black Lives Matter League?"

Maybe my problem is that I am a 2 time looser. First of all I am considered white, even though my Italian ancestry has left me with an olive completion, secondly I was a Law Enforcement Officer, therefore I must be the oppressor according to your logic. Am I right? The fault in your logic is that I was raised in a very poor section of New Jersey so I felt oppressed for most of my life. Dam I'm getting confused here. Is anyone else?
