Roy Absent during National Anthem (MERGED)

[Buzz Killington]

he's praying.

 

[Buzz Killington]

Really? People spell the "n-word" with an "a"?

OH! I see. The "r" is intact. I missed that.

OK. Well, that makes more sense. Yes, intra-word filtering could be better, but I understand why it's not.

he's praying.

He can pray 24 hours a day. He doesn't have to do it during the national anthem.

 

[Minstrel]

He can pray 24 hours a day. He doesn't have to do it during the national anthem.

How could he pray for 24 hours a day and avoid doing so during the national anthem?

 

[Ed O]

he's praying.

He's disrespecting the separation of Church and State!

Its his pre-game ritual.

 

[Ed O]

By ceasing to play the National Anthem before games, of course!

how does standing on the court listening show he cares any mroe than standing in the tunnel listening? If he hears it either way, sees the flag either way. Thinks the same thoughts while hearing it either way. Do you think that Rudy, Batum, etc. any other foreign born player care about the national anthem? Do our players care when they stand for oh Canada, feel deeply for the canadian national anthem?

The national anthem plays somewhere in the world on any given minute of a 24 hours day. Now you are geographically insensitive!

 

[andalusian]

Next time I am in the RG I am going to run on the court when they play the national anthem. I don't want to be un-respectful!

 

[Buzz Killington]

Maybe he wants to celebrate the anthem by himself instead of with all the SHEEP!

or maybe he's doing it ironically, maybe he's a hipster!

 

[Minstrel]

He is from Seattle, after all.

 

[andalusian]

I think it's Andre Miller's fault.

 

[Buzz Killington]

He's doing it because he was lured there from BBB.net for the mod's profits!

 

[Buzz Killington]

I mean, look at the Pageviews!

Just thought I'd check in guys! Been a busy couple hours and just wanted to let you know Brandon just pulled up outside the TV truck in a jacked up Chevy blasting "Born in the USA"! Off to have lunch with Rebecca! Peace!

"lunch" at 4:30 . . . is that code for pre-game sex?

17 pages on this topic? Looks like Crapzano accomplished his goal of getting a reaction out of something that has no signifigance.

SO at the very least that makes him an effective writer

Schonz was on the BFT, and even he (a vet) thought this was not worth worrying about.

Which leads me to the obvious question, why does Bill hate our troops and our country? Doesn't he realize HIS people own the team and is the commissioner of the NBA? How can he hate the country?

17 pages on the topic, of which I'd bet 16 and 3/4th of them are mocking the idea.

bump

 

[THE HCP]

Word on the street is he is going to be out there during the anthem tonight! And if it means anything, I was sitting next to Quick and Freeman out during shoot around and they said they couldn't believe he wrote the piece.

Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem

Those are big words, my friend. If you're going to use them, at least spell them right.

Those are real words? I thought I just made them up.

 

[BBert]

He can pray 24 hours a day. He doesn't have to do it during the national anthem.

Now you're going to tell the man when he's allowed to pray? And I suppose if someone says you're wrong, you'll claim your freedom is being repressed. Are you Glen Beck?

Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem

guys... the things I could tell you about Canzano...

but I won't, because I'm pretty sure it's illegal if I do. Also, unlike Canzano, I have a little bit of respect for a man's private life.

Take me out and get me drunk and I will probably tell you, as well as everyone else in the bar.

Is it that he's from Fresno, or something else?

I really can't imagine anything worse than that.

 

[THE HCP]

he just came out on the court! He is wearing a Black Panther beret and 1 black glove. Wonder what he's up to?

If he is growing a mustache, starts eating stinky cheese and smoke Gitanes - he is defecting to France.

Re: Roy Absent during National Anthem

Lots of avowed racists enjoy blacks as entertainers. There's a rich history of that going back a ways.

Not saying that you are an avowed racist. You certainly don't avow it. But your argument for why you couldn't possibly be racist isn't very strong.

Court Jesters, slaves of a sort, were the first comedians.

Entertainers, professional athletes, actors...they once existed only for the amusement of the upper class.

Now they exist to amuse the masses, and to financially profit the upper class.

So, Canzano has changed his tune from "unpatriotic" to "insensitive teammate."

I almost called his show to ask him if he, in fact, had interviewed any of Brandon's teammates and got their takes/feelings on the matter prior to spewing his drivel to the Portland masses.
