halfmanhalfbronco Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Bronco Country, Twitter and comment sections filled with people vowing to boycott the female team (doubt any of them ever watched or went to the games anyways). I love the first amendment and respect the girls who did this fully knowing they would get blasted from a certain portion of the fanbase. The same people who actually support the desecration of the american flag by hanging the thin blue line flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAC_FAN Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 They also know anyone on Twitter threatening to boycott the team already wasn't watching. It's also why the WNBA doesn't give a shit about what people think about BLM, know your fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The experiences of black females in the United States is completely unique, I don't pretend to understand it entirely because I simply can't. That's the point. Wish it was not a COVID year, I would go to every remaining game. The flag belongs as much to them as it does a decorated war vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see I'm not the only one who recognizes that little bit of hypocrisy. In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m totally cool with people doing that. The flag is simply a symbol. If someone wants to wear a star spangled g-string, all the power to em. Anyone who would boycott the women’s team because of the kneeling demonstration is a dumbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Coast Aztec Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Perhaps they should have broke in and vandalized the State Capitol. The same ones up in arms would have called them "patriots". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flag desecration has a specific definition. Wearing one as a cape fits that. You simply can not say people are "disrespecting the flag" and also be ok with the thin blue line flag, which would be classified as actual desecration.

NevadaFan Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Many people hating on the internet have too much time on their hands. These young people are engaged and expressing their opinion peacefully. Good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonkee Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 My favorite thing about this argument is this nugget of cognitive dissonance... "my grandpa died in the mud in France for your freedoms."

Wyoguns Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Ehhh...sorry but it’s women’s basketball. It was cool when the Cowgirls won the NIT a couple of years ago but it’s still women’s bb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally support the girls free expression to do that unless there’s some sort of contract they signed onto to not do something like that. I also support the free expression of those that think what the girls are doing is ridiculous. Instead of an emoji just about Kap, why not mix Kap’s and one for the girls together. OK, let’s take the piggies from the pair of Kap’s cop pig socks, change them to Miss Piggy’s pigs, and then put them on some pink volleyball knee pads. There’s your emoji. But please, no oral cop-ulation jokes. This is a family show..... I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetropolitanCowboy Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The men's team here at UK did a few weeks ago too, causing a nuclear meltdown by a lot of the fanbase... I don't get the outrage. They're exercising free speech rights....I hardly see how it's "disrespectin' the miltaruh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
