Major League Baseball must permanently retire ‘God Bless America,’ a song that offends everyone
NYDaily News ^ | June 30, 2016 | Gersh Kuntzman

It’s time for God to stop blessing America during the seventh-inning stretch.

Welcome to the July 4 holiday weekend — when once again, baseball fans will be assaulted by the saccharine-sweet non-anthem “God Bless America” at stadia all over this great land.

But no matter which home team you root, root, root for, “God Bless America” should be sent permanently to the bench.

This writer must STILL be smarting from the Philadelphia Flyers' strategic use of Kate SMith singing "God Bless America" during their Stanley Cup seasons.

Throughout the 1973–74 season, the Flyers often used a recording of Kate Smith singing "God Bless America" instead of the national anthem. Smith herself appeared before Game 6 to lead the crowd in the song, even miming a "knockout punch" after her performance. (from Wikipedia)

I don’t expect that to happen anytime soon. As for the future? Who knows. A lot depends on which direction we go at this election. We are at another fork in the road.

Sing what they like, God ain’t blessing Amerika right now. If anything, the LORD is bring down judgment on Amerika. All these attacks, fires, droughts, bad events, are God’s judgment on this sin racked nation. Gay marriage, homos in the military, homo this, homo that, homo, homo, homo. NO, the LORD GOD of heaven and earth, the Creator OF EVERYTHING, not a stink big bang THEORY, is not blessing Amerika UNTIL Amerika hits its knees, repents and asks for forgiveness of our billions upon billions of sins DAILY against Him!!! IF, and I say IF this nation repents, Scripture makes it clear that “I will hear” our repentance from heaven, heal this nation and people. ONLY then. ONLY!!!! THAT is the only way. THAT is the only time that GOD will bless America.

... when infecting a person with Special Snowflake Syndrome personally it qualifies them as an Extra-Special Snowflake.

Does not compute. Ok, it has the word God in it, but it is a beautiful anthem that is unmatched by any other.

Where do they get these people? They need to get off the asphalt & out onto some grass, watch a few sunsets, & have a family picnic!

He has to do something to bookmark the time between getting PTSD from firing a .223 and being terrified in the future of a Bible.

“”From the green fields of Virginia to the gold fields out in Nome.” You can hear it in Kate Smith’s original broadcast. “

I’ll be damned-—you learn something every day.

Kuntzman would undoubtedly prefer songs like Stalin, Friend and Comrade, Song of the (Socialist Unity) Party or Vast Country, My Homeland.

Gersh Kuntzman reviews the 2016 Honda Civic:

As we pulled away from the curb, the massive acceleration pinned me back in the seat, breaking several of my ribs and knocking me unconscious. The smell of the vinyl seats and the roar of the engine, like that of a thousand wailing banshees, seared my senses. The Honda salesman could not explain to me why any American should be allowed to purchase a car that can exceed 75 mph...

Someone needs to start a gofundme to buy Gersh Kuntzman a one way ticket to Cuba where he can watch baseball without “God Bless America”.

Kate Smith sang God Bless America and helped the Flyers win the Stanley Cup.

What would the fat lady sing to end the games?
