A memo was sent to all the teams in the NBA wherein Commissioner Adam Silver said he expected players would stand for the anthem.
Ya know, kindergartners only need to be told this once. If NBA players need more reminders, maybe they should get the same paycheck.

Sounds similar to a sternly-worded condemnation by the U.N. of human rights violations.
The same paycheck? That would be quite a pay cut! As I recall my pay as a kindergartner was zero point zero dollars. Of course the good news was…I was exempt from the income tax.
Why do you presume that any of them graduated from Kindergarten?
