NBA Teams Play “Alternative” National Anthem
Steven Ahle Steven Ahle March 5, 2018   


This year, several NBA teams played the Black National Anthem, “Lift Every Voice and Sing,”. So far, four teams have played it during NBA games.

The question I have is should white people take a knee or should they show them the same respect as people expect during the singing of the national anthem played at all sporting events? That is the dilemma that most people who attend these games face.

No interest in basketball nor the culture that provides most of the players.
I won't be watching or listening.

I'll be watching an "Alternative" Basketball League.

The only time I watch basketball is when my grandson plays, and he's only ten. As a matter of fact that goes pretty much for baseball, football and soccer too.

These young NBA guys do not remember the NBA of the 70s when the Afros and Black Power salutes saw a dismal attendance and interest in the sport.  Larry and Magic fortunately resurrected the sport.

Right now, they are sinking into irrelevance.
