Not sure but it’s obviously planned
I think it shows their true ignorance using the defense that “Hey we didn’t do it for just this game. We do it for EVERY GAME!”
Not putting your hand over your chest or really acknowledging the flag while the anthem is playing is one thing. I don’t even do it at the high school events when they do it pregame.
But blatantly & intentionally avoiding it altogether every single game when your opponents don’t, is extreme
Maybe there’s a flag in the locker room, lol.
Maybe it‘s psych warfare against the team waiting courtside, lol.
Mulkey’s a shark…lol.
Sounds like it has nothing to do with the actual anthem, though.
I’m surprised the league allows a delayed ringwalk, or court walk.
