Isn’t the bigger question why we still play the anthem before sporting events? Why not the pledge of allegiance? A reading of the bill of rights (which last time I checked included the freedom of expression)?
And if we’re going to play the anthem before sporting events, why not before the Opera, movies, concerts?
This is so silly.
And I’m dumbfounded that this poll has more than zero votes for “no, i wouldn’t support that.” It’s his choice. And he leads a group of guys who beat up other guys for our entertainment.
But I again go back to the question of why we feel sports are the one thing we watch for entertainment that must start with the national anthem.
