let me guess you folks are going to rip the Sixers for not letting woman sing with a 'we matter' shirt. We matter? guess that's a new one. in my opinion as an invited guest you don't get to do whatever you want.
that's a tough one. I'm not so sure about that yet. while she said she was never given any type of dresscode, it is obviously still up to the organization what is deemed appropriate. however, it's not like it was a violent or obsene message on the shirt. just sounds like the sixers don't want to be involved in this.
Isn't it up to the organization how they want the anthem sang as well?
reminds me of little kids screaming in the front yard because dad said you have get your chores done before you go play.
Godfather.
you haven't the slightest idea of the plight of the minority, obviously.
and you do ? shall I break out my violin for a spoiled football player ?
Godfather.
um, yeah, I do.
he's not doing this for himself, no matter what people say. he's bringing awareness to a national problem. he's making a statement for those who don't have that platform.
he's not expecting your violin. he's hoping people like you will stop saying "get over it" and actually do something positive for a change instead of spreading hate and ignorance.
what kind of positive things does he expect a person like myself to do ? what changes would I make to satisfy him or the so called abused people he's protesting for ?

"so called abused people"?
not spreading ignorance is a good start. honestly, not much is expected from people who share your opinion.

what do you mean by "how they want it sung"?
With intent to honour versus intent to make a political statement.

you can do both at the same time. that's the whole point.

actually, I did. you just choose not to accept the answer.
Who the hell is Denasia Lawrence? In order to protest and have someone listen to your plight you better have people know who you are. Get off the stage. Next.

that's absurd. all you need is the stage, figurative or literal. are you actually suggesting only celebrities can bring about social change?
i think south park pretty much ended the controversy when they had jj abrams fix the national anthem. all he did was have the pa announcer at the game say "an now please rise, sit, or kneel for the playing of the national anthem."

The funny thing is that we never saw the singer. Did he sit, kneel or stand while he was singing during that episode?

I completely agree that when you're given the honour of being invited to sing the anthem (or something similar) at an event, one should bow to the wishes of those invited. This summer BLM-Toronto (which is in itself a joke to many), who were the "honoured guests" at this year's Pride Parade hijacked the event and staged a sit-in for 30 minutes, until organizers capitulated and signed a list of demands put forth. One, it overshadowed the PM's presence in the parade, and it's left a big black eye on the Pride organization here. Unfortunately, those within that community who have spoken against BLM-Toronto's tactics (not their beliefs) have been labelled as racist by BLM-Toronto at the City Hall-type events Pride Toronto held to discuss what happened and how to move forward from this incident. Time and place, is all, and as hard as it is for some to accept, it's not always appropriate. But I'm getting the feeling that's a minority position around here, lol.

apparently the singer at the Sixers game signed a contract which contained a provision that no political statements could be made during the Athem...so yea she has zero argument against what the team did.

Is it really a political statement? Seems more like a humanitarian statement.

It is by far less of an uphill battle if "the world" knows who you are.
