I thought progressives didn't claim the National Anthem as theirs.

Want to say the Pledge Of Allegiance with me?

Anti-Americans are all about destroying the traditions of our country to make way for the New World Order. That is what getting rid of the anthem, tearing down statues, the 1619 project, and BLM, is all about. That's what "Marxist Transformer" means.

Why the national anthem?

Because normal people are patriots and know it’s a good idea come together and respect the flag and recognize all the sacrifices that have been made to make our freedoms possible.

Then there are un-Americans like you, that hate this country and hate being reminded about it.

Sports teams usually represent a city, or state, and all of them are American.

I would say the Conservative Right hates America just as much.

After all, they are willing to do nothing to protect their nation or their Constitution. Nothing.

And THIS really nails it......

Easy now...I side with Conservatives, I vote with Conservatives BUT they are the most nutless, spinless, big mouth pieces of shit that ever were. Come on man...they didn’t have the balls to keep heterosexual white Christians cool in a nation founded, built, run and funded by heterosexual white Christians. The Left has owned their sackless asses for decades....Sad but true.

Nawwww, I loved it when the boomer planes flew over my house and rattled my windows.

[DigitalDrifter]

The question should be, why does the Anthem bother liberals so much?

 

[Synthaholic]

Because normal people are patriots and know it’s a good idea come together and respect the flag and recognize all the sacrifices that have been made to make our freedoms possible.

Yeah. Ok. What does that have to do with two for-profit football teams?

If you can’t answer maybe it would be better to remain silent and not volunteer your cluelessness?
