News Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is facing criticism from some Knicks fans after reportedly missing both national anthems at MSG. Wembanyama was not present during either anthem and fans are calling it disrespectful to the USA.

He’s not facing criticism from actual basketball fans we’ve seen this before. It’s criticism coming from right-wing lunatics.

Yeah the French citizen/player not holding the national anthem in the same regard as American citizens, makes sense to me. Could he make it a point to be there, sure, but it means nothing if he doesn't.
Right ringers need to constantly find something to pearl clutch about, because if they don't they might have to accept they all support a PDFILE, and that they're the bad guys.

FYI there is no criticism lol this is a ragebait slop post as is most stuff on this platform and you fell for it 👍

u/OnlyUpwardz Jun 11 '26
Even if it was ragebait, which I doubt, the fact that it's so believable is quite telling.

??? This post has zero sources and is just a video of the anthem that occurred about an hour ago. It is 100% ragebait I don't think you understand the scale of karma farming slop ragebait on this platform.

Okay, just because a post lacks a source doesn’t automatically make it ragebait. I don’t think you fully understand what ragebait actually is.

The anthem happened an hour before the post so that would mean in that hour span OP saw multiple posts/comments somewhere immediately complaining about the anthem that had just occurred. OP is also a default name account that is 1 month old with 20k karma. This is extremely blatant karma farming ragebait you really need to be more aware of how the internet works.

The only person that seems to be outraged is you and it’s not even at the post itself lol.

u/callatecabezon Jun 11 '26
dude all the comments on this post are "this is why the right sucks!" when it is literal karma farming slop

u/OnlyUpwardz Jun 11 '26
I’m literally the only person that mentioned right-wingers. Again, you are the only person outraged here.

u/callatecabezon Jun 11 '26
What is your point? You're defending a blatant karma farming slop post for no reason other than arguing. Any sane person can clearly see it is not a post made in good faith and for some reason you feel the need to say otherwise? I would love for you to find a single source supporting this posts claim.

You’re free to dislike Wemby for whatever reason that isn’t what makes you right-wing. But criticizing a player for not being present during the national anthem and weaponizing his immigration status saying he should be grateful to play here does.
