Singer Jason Brock waved a Pride flag while performing the national anthem before a Golden State Warriors game against the Miami Heat, held during the team’s Pride Night. The supplied coverage focuses on whether the gesture was appropriate and whether players’ laughter was a reaction to it.

Jason Brock performed the national anthem before the Warriors’ game against the Miami Heat during the team’s Pride Night, and waved a Pride flag during the song.
The flag appeared as the performance reached the lyric “what so proudly we hailed,” according to the coverage.
Cameras showed Warriors players laughing; the reports say it was unclear whether their laughter was directed at the flag-waving.
Brock said he had not interpreted the players’ laughter as being about the anthem, and that he had not been watching them.
The Daily Wire article said neither the Warriors nor the NBA had responded to its request for comment by publication.
