I do get very tired of the "X Hates America" BS.  Griner has a ton of faults, but her argument was that the National Anthem doesn't belong anymore because it was written when blacks did not have rights and slavery was still legal in most of the US.  She didn't kneel, she just stayed off the court while it was being played.  You know, what some said the NFL players should do.  She is entitled to that opinion and that argument shouldn't just be ignored even if you think it is wrong.  But some can't even argue a point so they just have to start the Griner Hates America garbage.  And I say that as someone who doesn't like her and can come up with way better reasons.
