My question is this: why does our team leave the floor before the national anthem and return only after it is concluded?  It is striking to see the other team standing respectfully while we are gone . PLEASE NOTE: I am not interested in arguing whether our reason for being absent is good, bad or indifferent. But I would like to know why we are absent and what has to. Hanger before we reappear .

They started doing this last year, and I asked anyone here for a theory and didn't get an answer.  So far I've not spent a chalk talk question on it.  I guess I am a bit afraid of the answer--if it is a Colin Kaepernick type thing I might respect that,  but I wouldn't want the team becoming the center of attention for the wrong reasons.  So for a year and a half I have not asked and they have not told.  

I would let it go without question or comment. It seems like a private, personal expression. I respect the team's right to make a quiet statement of conscience without amplification.
