Several Ole Miss Players Knelt During National Anthem

[Joneslab]

College basketball is like, "Things are too quiet in here. Let's have some controversy."

[Joneslab]

Apparently they were protesting this.

While I wish they would choose a different forum to protest I at least understand their feelings

Darn, Jload, with as much un-nuanced fire as you bring on your basketball takes I'm surprised at this reasoned, even-tempered response.

I salute you sir and I feel the same.

I don't know if that's the right place or way to protest, but they have every right to voice their opinion. College is when you mature and realize that there are things you can't agree with.

It’s an odd way to protest that particular thing. Cal has always handled this kind of thing better than anyone.

I'm not sure it should even make a difference at this point, but it's all we'll hear about from now until we play them next week.

wonder if other college teams will follow

Doubtful because their protest was specifically about something happening in Oxford.

But athletes are big on copying other athletes so you never know. The more it's in the news here at the end of the season the more chance you'll have of other teams jumping on.

At least they didn't go Missouri and over throw the school.

I'm just going to keep my mouth shut on this subject.

Same here.

[Lighthouse]

I'm just going to keep my mouth shut on this subject.

Me too.

[Dwight Schrute]

Would love takes on what they were protesting from you Patriots.
