It is NOT "just a song". It IS our NATIONAL ANTHEM.
It's a song (a pretty badly written one, musically speaking, for that matter). One which a private business should not be required to play at any time.

You offer NOTHING to help and support of great country. You are TAKER and give NOTHING
I'm dying to know what you offer this country by listening to a song.

Your post is a logical nightmare. Is the Texas government forcing people to play music in their cars?

Again, another logical nightmare of a post. What do the Dallas Stars get in return from the Texas government for playing the anthem before a hockey game?

You sir are the epitome of what’s wrong in American today. Instead of posting a counterpoint with a rational and well reasoned argument, you post an anger filled rant filled with hatred for someone who doesn’t view the world exactly as you do. You call them names and fling aspirations. I assure you I’m not going anywhere and that while I disagree with your opinion and your manner of dealing with opposition to your views, as a card carrying Patriotic AMERICAN I fully support your right to be an a*shole whenever the mood strikes.
Gee, I must NOT have read my own citation before posting!
"the United States Flag Codeestablishes advisory rules for display and care of the flag of the United States."
We head all the time from the left when they constantly complained about Trump and NOT following"past president and "established norms"out in droves to show their appreciation for our county. Why do you think this tradition started at ballgames in the 1st place? The PROUDLY stood, placed their hand over their hearts and sang along.
When we respect the Flag, we respect the men and women who sacrificed to build this country and protect its freedom. When we honor the Flag, we honor our country, our people, and ourselves."
Lucky for you enough brave people lived here to fight multiple wars and win.
Thank goodness for that. I mean those horrible Koreans who invaded and attacked us and then the Vietnamese did the same thing. oh wait........
