Should Sports Fans Stand During Our National Anthem?

[The Sage of Main Street]

Why not. Everyone gets an anthem.

Feline and Feel Fine

What about cats? The "Meow Melody."

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

We need an anthem for every race group.

Hispanics could play the Macarena! That would be a hoot and you could get some exercise!

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

There is an unlimited number of genders.

Why stop at just races?

They play the national anthem at Indy and Daytona, don't they? I am sure at other races too!

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

While I understand the sarcasm .. what makes it white only?

White People Built America. America Is for Whites Only.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

No. What are the fascist gonna do, fine me if I don't stand. How about sloughing during the song, or talking while it's being blasted over the PA. What if I'm in line getting a hot dog?

Unless it's Jimi Hendrix's version........

I didn't know Jimi did a version of "Lift Every Voice and Sing"!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

There is such a thing as the black national anthem. When the American Anthem was created, blacks didn't count and until 1965 the Anthem was sung and blacks didn't count.

1965? Better back that up!

Democrats say it is.

 

[Curried Goats]

Frankly I don't care who stands for what. I just think it's hilarious cuck white culture has allowed themselves to be bullied to the point that their anthem has to share the stage with the Black National anthem. Which other nations people and their national anthem would be openly disrespected like that? There's blood in the water now. Does the national anthem eventually go the way of the Confederate flag? I guess time will tell....

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

My father, a Korean vet, explained it to me perfectly when I was very young and I always stand during it, out of respect, however freedom to not stand is still paramount to the reason they fought, imo.

Only Those Who Sacrificed Can Determine What the First Amendment Means

Nothing could be more insulting, humiliating, and bossy than to tell GIs they fought for the right of other "Americans" to call them "fools, losers, and murderers."

Sounds like IM2 responding ..

 

[Mac-7]

That song says nothing about heroes.
Only about bombs and killing.I can understand your lust.

I repeat, ungrateful libs who dont deserve the blessings they have

 

[IM2]

1965? Better back that up!

I don't need to, because that's when the Voting Rights Act was signed. Since we could not vote until 1965, we did not count.

It's amazing just how unable some whites are relative to tying together history.

If anything the national anthem should be "America the Beautiful"

Sometimes I stand and I don't give a shit who stands or who sits.
Black Anthem is a hymn and most in this thread doesn't know a damn thing how it came about.

The National Anthem is a hymm.

 

[IM2]

Sounds like IM2 responding ..

No it doesn't. But the racist will try making an equivalence when what I stand for is the polar opposite of white supremacy.

 

[IM2]

Good luck with that

Don't need luck. The black national anthem is played and if people want to stand, sit or not sing is irrelevant to me. And considering the league is 80 percent black, it might be wise for management to consider the feeling of the majority of their employees.

What if people of all races kneel during the black anthem? They pull a Kaepernick? Is that "unpatriotic?"

 

[sparky]

black national anthem

interesting take......~S~

 

[initforme]

If people want to stand then stand. If they don't what would you like me to do? It's NOT my place to even make a comment. The op is junk.

I could care less what people do during the playing of that song, If blacks are committing the injustices against people that Kaepernick took a knee for, then so be it. You see, when one of you assholes think you're trying to be funny, you're just being ignorant.
