I didn't know that was called "crip walking." You learn something every day.

The group Westside Connection was one of the first to popularize the dance.

How is this news? This is something that should be on TMZ or Sportcenter...not FOXNews

I'll have "Definitely Not Patriotic" for $400, Alex.

That video has been blocked...

I did see it on TV, really cool.

Does everyone need to be all patriotic? I mean, unless they are dissing the flag during the anthem, why can't they just be happy and have some fun?

The news probably blames Serena for the US flag falling as they played the National Anthem too. Fell all the way to the ground...

Things must have been really slow in the country and world for them to take the five minutes on Fox News to dicuss this...just dumb.

Anyone else remember John Carlos and Tommie Jones in the 1968 Olympics?

Imagine the reaction today with 24/7 news outlets.

Probably a little different that it was back then, when Brent Musbuger called them "black-skinned storm troopers" and apparently nobody cared.

I'd have no issue with that today.

You disrespect your country the way they did, and I'm cool with whatever insults anyone wants to direct at you. JMO.

If my country disrespected me the way it did them, I might have done the same thing.

And that's all well and good, but if you're going to do what they did, you're opening yourself up to the criticism, and IMO there's nothing I'd consider undeserved.

And I'm not saying I agree with his comments, I wouldn't say it, but I'm not going to judge him for criticizing those who are blatantly unpatriotic.

People are idiots.

And the patriotism of those who believed "all men are created equal" applied only to white men? I question the heck out of their brand of patriotism and apparently so did John Carlos and Tommie Smith.
