Or do the anthem prior to the players taking the court.

Yes. Anything to not distract from the actual message because it is getting lost in the argument over patriotism by doing it during the anthem.

I really think it would be more effective if they found a way to separate the two.

Yeah, no man should ever listen to a woman.

*Sarcasm*

Well, not a Marxist woman.

In general in Europe anthems are played only if it's national teams playing. Which makes much more sense to me. In no league will you hear an anthem before a game unless it happens that the game is played on some national celebration day which may happen like once per year.

Same in Latin America. Only in games between national teams, and in few sports. It's a US thing.

I checked the schedule of a lot of the upcoming games. It looks like we have some early games such as 10:30 or 11:00 AM. Also, games will be running back-to-back all day. It's going to be similar to the NCAA tournament with television viewing. Kind of cool.

Anyone here who has an IG, Twitter, or Facebook, be sure to drop supportive comments on all those on the Jazz and guys social medias. It's important to show support to them!
I put this thread out there as well:

Some great articles/messages ahead of game 1 return!

So figured I'd throw this thread up before game 1 tomorrow. Excited to have basketball back, excited to have the Jazz back. Excited we get back to games that actually matter. So here's the message before game 1. Be supportive. And even go leave a message of support on social media posts by the...

Were you blocked by Rudy on Twitter? Or was someone else on JFC? Can't remember.

What? How does the military pay them to play?

They give them money and the leagues play the song to promote patriotism, which in turn promotes people joining the military.

He;s ****ing kneeling, the symbol of respect. It's bad actors such as yourself who make it about something that it's not.

I’m “working from home”. We need this... I hope to hell 2020 doesn’t eff it up.

Let's be honest. Sports are a huge part of most people's lives and this sports hiatus has been very detrimental. We NEED sports, especially with so much other negativity in our world now.

Kap deserves nothing. He only started this nonsense when he lost his starting gig to Blaine Gabbert and his BLM girlfriend started getting in his ear.

Why do you think this matters?

Also, why do this during the anthem at all?

So people will see it.

Why not before that during pregame or even post game take a knee in solidarity and just leave the anthem out of it?

People would ignore it.

Would probably be a lot more accepted and the message that is trying to be conveyed wouldn't be lost in controversy.

It would not be more accepted, just over-looked.

Any protest that forced people to see it would be draped in controversy, because it's not about the anthem, or the flag. It's about people not wanting to hear the message.

See this is the only thing I don't care for. Today is basically opening day and we're talking politics and instead of coming together as fans and being untited we're telling each other how stupid each other is for having a different view. This is selfish on my part and I'm 100% behind the movement but sports, especially right now, is my get away from the daily stresses of life. It'd be nice to be able to tune in and forget about everything for a while even though it is a just cause. Especially with how ****** this last half of year has been for all of us. Again, I know that is selfish and it's not about me but it's one reason I like sports. It kind of defeats the purpose for me.

I never said anything bad about it, I simply said that it may be better to do it at a different time so as not to confuse the message.

You know, it's bad actors such as yourself who make reading comprehension a much needed fundamental so you don't take a quote and make it about something that it's not.
