Wow wade keeps shooting during our national anthem. Thats totally disrespectful. Guy has no class.

I think Abdul-Rauf was slapped with a one-game suspension for failing to stand for the anthem for religious reasons. IMO, simply ignoring an anthem and continuing to practice is much worse than conscientiously objecting to an anthem. So how about a little consistency, NBA? One game suspension for Wade?
(Not actually expecting that to happen or for anyone in the US or the NBA to care.)
edit: a little context to the Abdul-Rauf situation: he had been doing it for most of a season before it got noticed, and a couple days after the suspension was announced, the league worked out an agreement with him.
Also, from the NBA rulebook:
Players, coaches and trainers are to stand and line up in a dignified posture along
the sidelines or on the foul line during the playing of the National AnthemLast edited by octothorp; Sun May 8, 2016, 12:08 AM.

white men can't jump wrote: View PostThey could always make it a regular season game suspension that kicks in to start next year. I'd be fine with that. I'd even be fine with just some sort of smallish fine. Just some sort of recognition that it's totally unacceptable behaviour that should not happen.

Just saying...you dont have to go thru this ritual for every sporting event every time. Can someone provide a logical sentiment/reason to do this? Does not doing it say anything less about one's allegiance or love for terra Canada or USA etc.Last edited by Bendit; Sun May 8, 2016, 12:18 AM.
