They're smart enough to know that polarizing topics draw eyeballs, so they are gonna squeeze every drop out of it. Hell even my wife wants to watch the anthem so she can see who is kneeling or not. Me personally idgaf either way - show it, don't show it...kneel, stand, stay in the locker room, raise your fist, take your dick out...whatever. If I paid attention to it I'd just find it all annoying, but not losing sleep regardless.

Yeah but what about this so called black national anthems - it's existed from hundreds of years yet no one has heard of it

Lift Every Voice and Sing – often called “The Black National Anthem” – was written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) and then set to music by his brother John Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954) in 1899. It was first performed in public in the Johnsons’ hometown of Jacksonville, Florida as part of a celebration of Lincoln’s Birthday on February 12, 1900 by a choir of 500 schoolchildren at the segregated Stanton School, where James Weldon Johnson was principal.

They are still pissed about getting their butts kicked my retired men & young boys

However, I'd still rather watch them play than WNBA any Day
I don't see US women tennis players acting like these haters. I can't root for any WNBA or US soccer teams.
