More NFL Anti-National Anthem Crap. (Update @ 43)

So at my son's NFL sanctioned flag-football game today, no National Anthem. A moment of silence. For what? The death of our country?

I didn't make the games today, my wife is there and said a lot of parents were upset. This is unusual because the guy who runs it is a state cop who is very patriotic.

Why didn’t someone just start singing it. I’m sure the crowd would have joined in.

In the moment of silence, one person should start singing the National Anthem. Force the PC Principal to shout it down and declare, “you can’t sing that song here”.

The order obviously came from higher up.

I just got off the phone with her. We’ll find out sometime this week, freakin’ POed, needed to get this off my chest.

More NFL Anti-National Anthem Crap.

More NFL National Anthem crap means fewer NFL Viewers and Ticket Sold.

How about a moment of several thousand European descendants grabbing bats, kicking ass and taking names!!!

MAN, WTH?!?!

I know I’m considered a little under civilized and maybe coarse on this board, but WTH?!?!

There were race fights when I was growing up. The European descendants ran TOWARDS the fight, not away. And if you did run away, you might as well have moved.

It would be like that scene from “Casablanca” when people sang “La Marseillaise”.

Mark my words, they will cease playing it at all sporting events before challenging the “protesters”. Racism, and all.

Isn’t that what Soreass and his crowd is hoping for?

In my home there is no watching of football and no purchasing of products by NFL sponsors until they cut this crap out and honor America.

It is better to get the facts before going off the deposit end emotionally.

In practice, you are correct. But I’d be willing to put a large sum of money on it being that hatchet faced washed-up quarter back from San Francisco.

Exactly - get the crowd involved by setting the example and they will have a conundrum on their hands.....

Absolutely! That is how you combat this PC nonsense! Start singing the Anthem, loud and clear. The crowd knows what to do.

I didn’t think I could do without TV. I turned it off and don’t miss it. But turning off FR and Drudge is another story.

Turn off the NFL. . .Just do it!
