The Orlando Magic's Jonathan Isaac becomes the lone player to stand for National Anthem

Quote
The Orlando Magic's Jonathan Isaac became the first NBA player to stand for the National Anthem as the league resumed play after a 20-week hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The television broadcast showed Isaac, who is Black, standing as players and coaches from both teams, as well as referees, took a knee during the playing of the National Anthem. The 22-year-old forward was also the only player seen not wearing a "Black Lives Matter" shirt.

Isaac can be seen wearing his Magic game jersey instead.

Good for him.

That took a lot more courage than the BLM crap.

When the world’s gone mad the lone person who stands for sanity looks crazy. But in reality he’s the true rebel. :patriot:
