My wife and I have been University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine basketball season ticket holders for five years. We enjoy the level of play and sportsmanship, win or lose, especially by our proud Wahine.
This past Sunday in the final game of the Rainbow Wahine Showdown, No. 2-ranked Stanford left the court to their locker room before the singing of the national anthem and Hawaii Pono‘i. I thought we as a nation were over this type of behavior. What message are they sending to the young fans who were in the crowd?
I suppose when you are the No. 2-ranked team in the nation, you have certain entitlements. They could have come out during Hawaii Pono‘i but chose not to.
May I suggest that whoever selects the teams to play in our tournaments not ever invite Stanford back. Be respectful of our nation, and the state of Hawaii. Go ’Bows!
