Coach Patrick Ewing along with the team can be seen going to their knees on the court, arms linked, and making the world a better place in their minds.
Anyway, the anti-anthem players got their asses handed to them with the score of 96 to 73. At least we won't have to see them in the next round, but I must confess, I could care less about NCAA basketball and March Madness--it's all hype.
National anthem kneeling began when a mediocre quarterback in the NFL named Colin Kaepernick kneeled during the anthem in 2016. He claimed the kneeling was due to widespread oppression of black people in the United States, in spite of there being no evidence that oppression of black people is widespread. The more likely explanation for the demonstration is that Kaepernick was going to be cut from the team from which he increasingly sucked.
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick said at the time, refusing to do anything more than kneel and complain. “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.”

The bodies in the street are statistically much more likely to have been put there by other Black people than by police or by White people. But this sad fact is never revealed by race hustlers and virtue signalers like Kaepernick.
I recall a time years ago when then-New York Knicks player Patrick Ewing stood behind me in line at JFK International Airport waiting to get his boarding pass. The ticket clerk called him to her counter and allowed him and his son to jump the line and board ahead of the rest of us peons. If that isn't racist oppression, I don't know what to call it.
True story.
