on the account of elevation, I presume?
Of course Trump is right. Don't like your anthem/country/government?
Get the heck out, it is exactly what you supposedly want: a FREE country!
2. Disrespectful!
tiki ,   belgium   (09.24.17)
Kneeling when playing for a US club when the US national anthem is played is totally disrespectful.

Not respecting the 'honor to visit the White House is disrespectful

Reject the democratic elected US President (even if he's not your choice) is totally disrespectful.

These 'moral' NBA players, playing for US clubs and earning millions of $ should be barred from playing for their shameful conduct.

3. Caspi is a rude Guest
Jake ,   Dallas   (09.24.17)
It is one thing for an American to criticize the President, however it is quite another for a foreigner, a guest in the US, to do so. That is rude and only someone who had no respect for the country wouldn't understand that. If Caspi doesn't like the President, he should shut up. If not, go somewhere else and play
4. He must support the players
DSM ,   USA   (09.24.17)
He must support the players in the NBA as 90% are black and very anti Trump. If he supports what they are doing and saying, for any other reason, he is an idiot.
5. How is Trump a racist? This is public theatre.
ZIPPY ,   Levittown, NY   (09.26.17)
There is no evidence for most of the cited events which then become politicized capital for tendentious effect to then justify anything.
