This whole deal of everyone needs to always be standing at attention for the national anthem is idiotic. No one cared before Kaep made it a political statement and now every two-bit politician wants to earn cred by attacking athletes.

What ever happened to right to protest? We just ignoring the First Amendment now?

And for the record I don't think the LSU basketball team was making a protest. Jeff Landry needs to kick rocks.

That is not the point that I was attempting to make. Colin K was on the field of play and took a knee during the anthem as some sort of perverted protest. LSU football and now the women’s basketball team are multi million dollar programs. If they are not winning then substantial dollars are lost. If CBK and CKM think that having the team in the locker room focusing on the upcoming battle is important then wtf is the problem?

Tell people they have to be in their seats for the Anthem or not be let in the stadium. See how well that goes.

No, dipshit. This has nothing to do with the first amendment, which does NOT guarantee the right to not be criticized for free speech.

ask Chris Jackson if nobody cared.

I know this wasn’t a protest but in the case where it is, the Protestant get immunity from public opinion.
