I wouldn’t attend a professional sports event unless I was paid to do so, but even if I did I doubt I would bother standing for the national anthem. I would remain seated, drinking my beer or whatever; my way pf protesting the rigged election and illegitimate government we now have in the US.
The younger people have no concept of the service by those who are now elderly or who have passed. I thank every day what men such as my father helped achieve. Having our young men drafted in foreign wars, especially, while the easily manipulated generation reaps the benefits and erases the past, I wouldn’t be shocked is veterans’ Day is banned. Thanksgiving, Columbus Day and others will be permanently banned eventually but Vets’ Day will be next.
“ protesting the rigged election and illegitimate government we now have in the US.”
I would ask the same question that has not been answered by anyone involved in protesting the flag in regard to racism
How does tge flag represent cheating in a general election.
But the key word here is would. I’m not interested in any ignorant answers

While I agree with the sentiment, what we are experiencing via REAL insurrection producing an illegitimate administration has nothing to do with the National Anthem. It is not meant to pay homage to current administrations but rather to the Nation itself and those who have sacrificed on its’ behalf. We cannot dishonor THAT just because the current hoard of lawmakers and justices are corrupt.
