Consider it par for the course for the pathologically woke WNBA. In a viral clip posted Thursday to the social media platform X, members of the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces ran off the court only seconds before the performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” thereby leaving the distinct impression — at least among disgusted users on the social media platform X — that those players removed themselves from the court so as to avoid standing for America’s national anthem. One X user, in fact, called the display “despicable.” [snip] In the clip, for instance, one clearly sees at least three and perhaps as many as seven Aces’ players leaving the court after pregame warm-ups. Seconds later, the arena’s lights dimmed, and the public-address announcer introduced the national anthem. The Las Vegas Aces sprint off the court before Game 3 vs Fever because they don’t want to honor our country & participate in the National Anthem… pic.twitter.com/c5dhpGkwvz — Jon Root (@JonnyRoot_) October 2, 2026 [snip] “When you thought that A’ja Wilson and her Aces couldn’t be bigger pieces of crap! In comparison the Fever stood for the Anthem,” Young wrote. “Not only did Sophie Cunningham put her hand over her heart during the Anthem, but the shirt she wore when arriving in Vegas yesterday said ‘USA’! It’s no wonder why the WNBA hates the Fever!” [snip] “Players, coaches, and trainers are to stand and line up in a dignified posture along the sidelines or on the foul line during the playing of the National Anthem,” the rulebook states under the section governing player/team conduct. The Fever are on the court for the anthem….. pic.twitter.com/kIWToilg6o — Tony Cordasco (@TonyDasco) October 2, 2026 [snip] On the other hand, since we do play the national anthem before sporting events, the conservative in my nature sympathizes with those who, from genuine love of country and community, refuse to pervert that moment of civic unity by making it about themselves. And that is exactly what those anthem-sullying or anthem-evading athletes do. [snip] In the future, if those athletes wish to protest, make it meaningful. Sacrifice something of value, like a paycheck. Or, boycott a game if you feel that strongly about it. Skipping the national anthem does not cost you anything besides critical comments and articles like this one. Thus, it is purely self-serving. In other words, it is exactly what we have come to expect from a league filled with whiny, self-righteous brats.
