The viewership of women’s basketball may be low, but it makes up for this in the number of woke and virtue-signaling players.
Ahead of Friday night’s women’s basketball Final Four matchup between South Carolina and Louisville, the Gamecocks used the national anthem to bring awareness to racial injustice in our country, according to head coach Dawn Staley. The Gamecocks use the national anthem for protest every year since 2021.

Staley stated that the actions of her team are helping to unify America and not causing division.
“I also love my country. I don’t like what our country has come to, or what our country has been, but I’d like to think that there are people in our country that’s going to lead us more in a unified way than a divisive way, and I’m here for that,” Staley said.
We need to stop using one thing that can unite Americans, as a platform for raising awareness about an issue that is constantly blown way out of control.

It is important that the national anthem be sung to remind us of our shared nationality. This is true regardless of differences in religious belief, race, background, sports preferences, and ethnicity. Staley is right that America’s history has been flawed and corrupt. However, this does not mean that you have to forgo participating in what should unite all Americans. We must also recognize the value of being grateful for our country’s achievements and that we live in a great place. Protesting with the national anthem is not a good way to build unity. In fact, it does more harm than good.
On Sunday, UConn was defeated 64 to 49 by the Gamecocks and they won the national title.
