Riley Gaines criticizes LeBron James over national anthem behavior

Riley Gaines shared her views on LeBron James' behavior during the national anthem, which included him stretching and joking around. This comes after criticism from various fans and commentators, including Charles Barkley. Gaines invoked the First Amendment, claiming it allows for both athlete protests and public criticism of those actions. She described athletes like James as 'ungrateful, anti-American hacks.' The controversy also followed the Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream leaving the court as the anthem began during the WNBA Finals, further fueling the debate.
