Fans Not Happy as Entire 'Final Four' Basketball Team Refuses to Take the Court During National Anthem
2022-04-04
[Western Journal] They’re going to be playing for the national championship, but they’re already losers in the court of public opinion.

The South Carolina Gamecocks drew national attention Friday when they stayed off the court for the playing of the national anthem before their game in the Final Four of the NCAA’s women’s basketball tournament in Minneapolis.

While the team under coach Dawn Staley has been off the court for the anthem all year, like many of their competitors, the practice made news this weekend — because of how their opponent behaved.

The Louisville Cardinals honored the anthem on the basketball court, and fans noticed the difference.

#9  I thought it was Monroe, thus the capital of Liberia is Monrovia.

Polk was the President that sleazed us into war against Mexico and grabbed up the Southwest.

#7  nice to see the idiots aren't anti-Trump. The previous anti-Americanism had that feel to me.

If I were running that school I would take a serious look at the History and Sociology and ethnic studies departments with an eye on cleaning house.

#6  ...As a Gamecock myself (class of '97) I ain't happy.

Unfortunately, Coach Staley is pretty much the ONLY U of SC coach who's consistently bringing in Ws and championships. It's being ignored.

Just like I'll ignore the damned phone calls and letters begging me to donate money to the school.

#5  SC administration probably supports them.
Better to be off the floor during the National anthem than to embarrass themselves during the Anthem.

How many of the team are attending college based on Athletic Scholarships?

Where did that $$$$$ come from?

So I say, may their donors and supporters lists be released. Each donor/supporter should ask a direct question. "Will hey will continue to support/donate to this team IF this matter is NOT seriously addressed?"

A picture speaks a 1000's words.
