勇士队骄傲之夜：国歌歌手唱到一半挥起彩虹旗，球员发笑视频13小时破400万播放
位于加利福尼亚州旧金山市县的大通中心（Chase Center）11月5日晚举行金州勇士队主场迎战迈阿密热火队的比赛，当晚也是勇士队的「骄傲之夜」。赛前演唱美国国歌的歌手杰森·布罗克（Jason Brock）唱到「我们如此自豪地欢呼」（What so proudly we hailed）一句时，从外套里掏出一面彩虹骄傲旗，像挥舞旗帜一样挥动，并一直挥到演唱结束。勇士队当晚以120比100获胜，热火队后卫克莱·汤普森（Klay Thompson）重返大通中心原本也是当晚的看点。
比赛转播画面随后扫到多名勇士队球员，其中后卫德安东尼·梅尔顿（De'Anthony Melton）与前锋查尔斯·巴锡（Charles Bassey）面带笑容，看上去正在笑、或在努力忍住笑。据《纽约邮报》报道，这段画面在社交平台X上疯传，其中一条帖文在约13小时内播放量超过400万次。多家报道同时指出，球员发笑的原因并不清楚，无法确定是因为彩虹旗、布罗克的唱法，还是他的表情。
网上的反应随之分成两派。一些网友认为，在演唱国歌时挥动另一面旗帜是对美国国歌与国旗的不尊重；另一些网友则为布罗克辩护，或拿这一幕开玩笑。喜剧演员丹尼·波利什丘克（Danny Polischuk）在X上打趣说，共和党在中期选举中输得太惨，「现在都有同志国歌了」。
布罗克本人11月6日作出回应。他先在Instagram快拍中转发一张题为「勇士队在国歌期间绷不住表情」的图片，写道：「真的吗？」并附上意思相同的日文。随后他又在X上回复那条疯传帖文说：「哇，我不是这样理解的，我当时也没在看球员。他们发笑，并不意味着是因为国歌。」据《纽约邮报》报道，布罗克还发了多条帖文展示这次演出，看上去对自己的表现并不后悔。截至发稿，勇士队与画面中的球员均未公开说明发笑的原因。
布罗克是旧金山本地歌手，曾在选秀节目《X音素》美国版进入直播阶段；据他今年早些时候接受采访时的说法，他此前也曾为旧金山巨人队等本地队伍演唱国歌。
Warriors Pride Night: Anthem Singer Waves Rainbow Flag Mid-Song as Video of Players Laughing Passes 4 Million Views in 13 Hours
Chase Center in San Francisco, California, hosted the Golden State Warriors against the Miami Heat on the night of November 5, which was also the Warriors' Pride Night. Singer Jason Brock, performing the U.S. national anthem before the game, reached the line "What so proudly we hailed," pulled a rainbow Pride flag from his jacket and waved it like a banner, continuing until the end of the song. The Warriors won 120-100, and Heat guard Klay Thompson's return to Chase Center had itself been one of the night's storylines.
The broadcast then panned to several Warriors players, including guard De'Anthony Melton and forward Charles Bassey, who were smiling and appeared to be laughing, or trying to hold in laughter. According to the New York Post, video of the moment went viral on X, with one post passing four million views in about 13 hours. Multiple reports stressed that why the players were laughing is unclear, and cannot be determined to have been because of the flag, Brock's rendition, or his expressions.
Online reaction split. Some users said waving another flag during the anthem disrespected the anthem and the U.S. flag; others defended Brock or joked about the moment. Comedian Danny Polischuk joked on X that Republicans had lost the midterm elections so badly that "there's a gay national anthem now."
Brock responded on November 6. He first reposted on Instagram Stories a graphic titled "Warriors couldn't keep a straight face during the national anthem" and wrote, "Really?", adding the same phrase in Japanese. He then replied to the viral post on X: "Wow I didn't interpret it like this, but I wasn't watching the players. Just because they were laughing doesn't mean it was because of the anthem." The Post reported that Brock made several other posts highlighting the performance, suggesting he had no regrets about it. As of publication, neither the Warriors nor the players shown had publicly explained the laughter.
Brock is a San Francisco-based singer who reached the live shows on the U.S. edition of The X Factor. In an interview earlier this year, he said he had previously sung the national anthem for local teams including the San Francisco Giants.
