I guess I don't agree or disagree with any of this -- well, that's disingenuous, but which I disagree with and which I don't isn't the point. And that's the point I am trying to make. What difference does it make to my basketball whether I am patriotic or not and how I choose to express that? Part of our freedom here in a democratic state is the freedom to not be forced to express a certain political view, if we don't want to. If politics has nothing to do with basketball -- I'm talking national politics, not association politics!! -- it shouldn't be forced into basketball. God help us if Walter's board has much influence nationally. Where can that kind of proscription lead, but to trouble???

Sigh. We're at war. My 17 yr old son wants to go off and
kill people. When I ask God for help (which I do not make
a habit of doing, BTW) I will not be asking Him to prevent
Walter's association from installing a fascist govt. My 2
cents: if you don't have a problem wearing your state or
association patch then you probably should not have a
problem wearing the US flag on your stripes. But as they
say, we might disagree but I will defend your right to
sound like a fool, err, I mean to hold your opinion.

I have nothing ales to add.
