My guy @TheDA53 and I talked about the ALCS and NLCS today on SportsWrap.

What should the Dodgers do with Ohtani? Can they rally down 0-2?

And what about the Rays and Guardians. We got into all of it.

Let's play this out a little bit.

Teams in the WNBA have been doing this all season long, and in some cases longer.

Now, two weeks before a midterm election, where conservatives are going to get absolutely demolished, this topic finds its way into the news when it was completely ignored for the whole season.

What does that tell you? And be intellectually honest when answering that question.

Don't give me the answer that nobody watches the WNBA because ratings have never been higher, and it actually gets more viewers than the NHL does.

But only now do the Clay Travis's of the world and Fox News jump on this as a "story".

You're clearly uneducated, man, given your background. Why do you think it's suddenly being brought up now?

[Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew]

It's a story every time they do it.

Every game presents a choice.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

@unoamigo76 When you can't argue the point, you bring up typos.

Way to go slappy.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

You really aren't an intelligent man.

It's isn't 3 straight games.

IT'S LITERALLY EVERY GAME THIS SEASON.

Tell me you don't watch the WNBA (and only swoop in when it suits your political agendas) without telling me you don't watch the WNBA.

Clay Travis isn't just dumb. He's intellectually dishonest.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Both @WNBA teams refuse to be on the court for the national anthem at the WNBA Finals per @RealDanZak. This is three straight games now. This violates league rules and the league refuses to comment on why it is happening.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

Ben Johnson...

Huge juevos.

Major respect for kicking the FG with Santos who boots his career long from 58 yards to give the Bears a 9-point lead.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

Can't take a sack there if you are Caleb Williams.

Man alive.

What is he thinking? You have to get rid of the football.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

It literally feels like there is a penalty flag thrown on every single play of this Patriots-Bears game.

Absolutely unwatchable.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

@BillfromBoynton You are likely the same dumbass that clicks on the link in his email about a Nigerian Prince that wants to send him a million dollars.

Next level stupid is what you've shown yourself to be.

Put down the keyboard and backaway slowly.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

I have seen it all.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

It is going to be a fun season to be a 76ers fan.

Enjoy the ride. Wherever it leads.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

Good to see that James Harden and the Cavaliers have found it's postseason form so early in the season.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

@Richard57517088 As opposed to the President?

He's the paragon or moral virtues?

You can't be serious.

Right?

Get off my timeline you hypocritical dolt.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

THIS. ISN'T. A. STORY.

Both of these teams have done this for every game this season.

The Valkyries have done it for every game of the franchise's existence.

Stop trying to create a culture war over an issue that doesn't exist.

Just stop.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

🚨 BREAKING: WNBA teams just skipped the national anthem for the third straight Finals game.

They ran off the court during the anthem and came back out for tip off.

The WNBA's own rule book says players, coaches and trainers are "to line up in dignified posture on the sideline or foul line during the playing of the national anthem."

The league is silent on whether anyone will be disciplined.

This is the same league that begs for more money and more viewers every year. You can't disrespect the country and then wonder why the country isn't watching.

Enforce your own rules or stop pretending you have them.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

In today's edition of The Daily Wrap, available on our Substack. We are giving @Reese10Angel her flowers.

She's earned that and more.

RIP Tom Skerritt.

Big fan of his work.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

The 17-year-old aspect of the story carries some shock value.

But the pearl-clutching and "shock" over any suggestion that Lindsey Graham was gay is about as laughable as someone being shocked when finding out the Liberace was gay.

Come on...

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

HOLY SHIT: Three male sex workers just came forward saying they were paid to have sex with Lindsey Graham.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

@Hackbasher2025 Unless Trump was on the court in a dress, folks like you would never watch.

Just be intellectually honest about it.

You hate women in sports.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

@MarkKramb @MichaelSavaged Completely made-up story.

The league has not taken any action against either team.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

@DynamoPickle Enforcement of the rule was suspended by the league in 2017.

Not difficult to understand.

Do you really think players leaving the court for the anthem is because of hatred of America?

I really want you to answer that question.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

@sssmitty86 @hoppzilla1 Clearly you don't watch the NBA.

Traveling hasn't been enforced in over a decade.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

@marchandsteve the more logical reason is that the teams use this as a quick chance to talk with their players prior to the game.

Sometimes, things like this are far more innocuous than they may seem.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

League suspended the rule in 2017.

Do you really think every team is doing this because they simply hate America?

Or is the more logical reason (but not the one that is politically expedient for your hack ass) that the teams use this as a quick chance to talk with the team prior to the game.

I know you view everything through a lens of hatred. That's why you're persona non grata from anything that isn't a right-wing "hatred fest", but consider that as a possibility.

[Jason Page @TheBackPage]

@For_Facts_Sakes @CaptainDadpants There is literally a video of Fox News (in this thread) talking about the national anthem stuff.

I can't imagine what it's like to wake up (as dumb as you must be) each day.
