The team played pretty rusty, but pulled out the win by nearly 20 pts. Boston and Cooke had to carry the team with career games. Boston should earn herself some "Player of the Week" mentions with her 28 pts, 16 rebs, 4 blocks and 3 steals. The team was 3-16 from behind the arc, and all 3 makes were by Boston alone!
The rest of the team, not so much. The other starters and main reserves struggled offensively, and the bench was outscored by Florida 15-6, which is unusual for Dawn Staley teams, especially this one. Hopefully it was just the rust of only playing 1 game since December 6th, and that one game being 2 weeks ago itself.
As for all these comments, I really wish they'd stop. No one kneels to protest US citizens fighting and dying in wars to defend and protect our rights. If anything, those who DO kneel, do it to DEFEND the flag and anthem, not disrespect them. It's their equivalent to what US citizens do, who join a federal military branch, don a military uniform, and go off to a foreign land to fight a war. Only, it's being done on sovereign ground by citizens. As our Constitution gives us the right to do.
And then, those same people who loudly complain about African-Americans kneeling, will proudly proclaim themselves conservatives, stand with a political party that supports voter oppression, racist division, free election overthrowing and even talk of secession from the Union - ALL acts of sedition, treason, and violations of the US Constitution.
NOT because someone with a bug up their ass wants to twist it into being those things, but because the US Constitution itself DECLARES those acts to be those things. Those are ALL acts that US Citizens ACTUALLY DID go off to war and fought and sacrificed their lives defending against. Those are all acts that ACTUALLY DO disrespect what the flag and anthem stand for.
But y'all go right on ahead and stand up for them. Call other people fighting for their rights "disrespectful". Used to be, the word of the day was "uppity".
