    I'd be all in for having the entire arena kneel down.

    Focus on the why, not the what. That's the problem. Why did Kaep or anyone else for that matter have to do it? I served in the military and didn't agree with it, but I understood why. If people got more upset for the reason he had to do it, then we probably wouldn't be at this point today.

    There's also the fact that the third verse of the anthem encourages killing runaway slaves, (which is why we only sing the first part of it).

    And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
    That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
    A home and a Country should leave us no more?
    Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution.
    No refuge could save the hireling and slave
    From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

    Check your privilege? You presume to know ANYTHING about me based on a few posts? Really? Maybe you should look in a mirror and _check your stereotypes_ before you start judging me based on next to nothing.

    No sweat, I made the mistake first and misread the post.

    Are there any prejudices that people have about you that you don't care for?

    You just seem unwilling to think from another perspective besides your own. Thats why I said "check your privilege"

    You don't understand the big picture. This isnt about your entertainment or indulgence while watching sports, it is about daily life as a minority in america.

    Does that mean anything to you?

    This thread is divisive as hell. Why come we just can't be Rockets fans and people in unity?
