"What do You Think?- NBA player refuses to stand for National Anthem"
This is a ridiculous non-issue.
And the OP once again demonstrates he's a complete idiot.
I could not possibly care less.So what do you think?
Why you ask does he not stand?
Mr. XXX said it's because he's... that's right-
Muslim
Can't stand for the National Anthem of this country but instead they stand to cut off your head
Just as I thought
More bulletin board material for Patriots

Dion Waiters, an NBA player for the Cleveland Cavaliers, was nowhere to be found when the national anthem was being sung before his team’s game against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Waiters says the reason he excused himself prior to the national anthem is that he’s a Muslim acting in accordance with his religious beliefs.
If so-called “moderate Muslims” really wanted things to get better, they would stand and sing at the top of their lungs for America and hope we, as a country, survive and eliminate evil-doers all over the world.

Yes, simple courtesy and respect is so un-American.I agree that the moderate muslims should speak out against the terrorist acts of the radicals.
But forcing someone to stand for the national anthem goes against everything we stand for.
I can just imagine the outrage if a whiteboy refused to stand for a Muslim country's anthem, let's say at the Olympics or some other event.Where does it state he has to place his hand over his heart and recite the Pledge?
It does not and he has every right to refuse to say it.
That being said he should at least stand up and show some respect for the country he is making his living in.
When a hockey game is played between a US Team and a Canadian Team and both anthems are played the players stand for both anthems out of respect.
Fans should just spit on his ass.So you guys are all for religious freedom unless it's a religion you don't like.
Incidently, I have no idea, does the NBA have a rule that all their players have to stand for the national anthem?
No Joe. I HAVE A RULE they do. Muslims to boot

So you have a rule that requires everyone to stand for the National Anthem. JoeyB has a rule that gun dealers who sell guns that are used to commit murders go to jail, whether they followed the rules or not.
The good news is that neither of you get to make rules for everyone else. You follow your rule.
No one is saying there ought to be a law. However, it is disrespectful. Considering it is this country and the liberty for which it stands that allows him to pursue his happiness and live a lifestyle that most only envy.
You saying it is not a slap in the face or disrespectful?
Fucking morons.

OK- If Muslims were not Americas #1 enemy, you might have a point.
America's number one enemy are multi-national corporations.
The tyranny of employment.Back in the ought-70's my roommate and I went to a college b'ball game with several of our black friends.
They remained seated during the National Anthem, chanting "not 'till we're free". And we were cool with that.
"free" from what?
You have no idea what you are talking about, Be afraid amd sit at home telling yourself thst you are doing the right thing.
Shellfish is certainly "American" if it can be classified in such a way. It's always been very popular in New England. Fisherman here in NE have made a living off of shellfishing for centuries. Shows how much YOU know.
You also seem to be quite ignorant. While I too have pride in my country and think others should too, that doesn't mean you have to be so ignorant and hateful of other peoples and their cultures.

Hmm, does SCOTUS respect right to spit on the asshole?Yes, simple courtesy and respect is so un-American.I agree that the moderate muslims should speak out against the terrorist acts of the radicals.

It is the simple courtesy and respect for America that we should all have to allow a person to have the freedom to sit or stand for an anthem and not judge them.
The Supreme Court has upheld numerous cases with respect to freedom to practice a religion as regards to the national anthem.
Without choice, there is no freedom.

Exactly. That's why we need to get over this ridiculous concept of Freedom; so people understand that life is not really about having options but rather about what one SHOULD do.
Who decides what someone else "should" do?

The Morals and Values our forefathers instituted when humans first founded societies tens of thousands of years ago
Who would,that be and why follow their morals and values?
