There's definitely 1000 things out there people should be worrying about over this.
Private companies are forcing employees to denounce their whiteness, take Coke for example, it goes both ways.

Like some other poster wrote, you need testosterone to understand football. Well, the DOD loves that kind of talk. It's just the sort of person they believe they can sway to be cannon fodder with a swaying rendition of the anthem, along with red, white and blue fireworks, and jets roaring overhead.


But go ahead thinking there isn't an ulterior motive at hand and these presentations are just about love of country.

Haven't watched a single NBA game since those knuckleheads jumped on the BLM/kneel before anthem nonsense.

Stores closed on sundays would be great. Not so people could go to church instead, but because frankly, it wouldn’t hurt for Americans to have one full day a week to not have to work and to spend time with their families.

Dressing up to go out also would t be a bad thing. I would not mind at all going out and not seeing kids with their pants hanging below their butt cheeks, whale shaped women in way too small shirts with their fat folds bulging out the sides, cankles overflowing above the ugg boots, etc.

It also used to be tradition for people to dress up to go on an airplane. I’d be just fine with brining that tradition back as well.

Wanting to stop the playing of the national anthem before a sporting event is just downright unAmerican.
No, it would not. People have different schedules and religions. I keep the Sabbath and Sunday is my day to take care of items. Who are you or anyone else to tell others when to take time for their families?

Yes, it is tradition, started in 1918 at a baseball game. You can take your conspiracy theories elsewhere. Some of us actually love our country, served our country, other's mooch of it & have the audacity to try and change tradition because it upsets their fragile sensitivities.

Uh..why? What on Earth do sports games have to do with nationalism? Why play the anthem at games? They have nothing to do with each other. Oh well, Texas gonna Texas.

I don't care whether they play it or not. American liberals are the neediest group of people in the entire world.
