It’s almost always stated just before the anthem... “To honor America... something that is apparently lost on you.
THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF VILLANUEVA) ARE COWARDS!
I’d like to see every National Anthem from now on sung by a group of COMBAT VETERANS, AMPUTEES, AND THOSE IN WHEELCHAIRS. They should publicly shame these multimillionaire brats who are kneelers and no showers. Shame on them all.

I do not watch sports. How would I know that?

Good for him. FUNFL
Wow. Thanks for sharing. Very touching.
So why are you weighing in on this discussion if you have no idea what is going on ?
The only way you will get the owners attention is to hit them in the pocket book. The sponsors need to be hit right between the eyes and they need to know why.

Get off of the NFL drug folks, it’s killing you!
Answer: To expose all the communists, mozlums and other anti-Americans.
“Burn Your Gear And Boycott”....
Actually, the NFL has become a disease with a fatal ending drawing near. GOOD! My football “gear”, an Aaron Rodgers jersey has already been burned. GONE!
You're right, they should just play the national anthem and then everyone goes home.
Wow...really?
Maybe try studying more about American history, rather than Asian history. Especially about the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have died over the years so we would have the freedom to go to those sporting events? Or all the Americans who died to ensure the people of the Pacific were free to live their lives NOT under the boot of Imperial Japan?
Oh yeah...when you do go back to get you bachelors' in American History, don't do it in Austin.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Yes, but be sure to do it on Youtube.
I was at the Lions game. I wasn’t drunk. People around me not drunk. Matt Stafford is a baboon?
I have a KC Chiefs jersey, I’m thinking of shredding it and mailing it to them.
“... more and more of these anti American comments..”
Not defending Fai but if you read his info... he isn’t “from here”. Thus, I see his question as a true question.. relating to the history/meaning/etc. Of course, when we post a question... sometimes the reader will see a diss instead of a true question. Just my 2 cents.
I just don’t see the purpose.
Large public events have a long history of doing this, and we're certainly not the only nation with such a practice.
Why play the anthem of the gold medalists' home country at the Olympic Games? Why play the national anthem of *every* competing race team's country before the annual race at Le Mans? These are signs of respect, often coming from people of other nationalities. Think of it as part of the trappings of the civilized world, regardless of how much purpose it appears to serve.
If our own obscenely well-paid football players can't show this nation the same level of respect that is typically expressed by foreign sporting adversaries, I agree - let them sit in the tunnel until it's time to take the field. Denying them some camera time would do all their egos some good, too.
Ok
