I covered an NHL prospect game the other night. All of the media stood for the anthems, so it must be a "thing" with the political journos only.

They always say that a picture is worth a thousand words.

Well, that picture contained a thousand words; none of them kind.

I would expect no less from a bunch of America-hating Nazi propagandists.

“Would all the queers, freaks, perverts and illegal immigrants please remain seated for the National Anthem”!

I guess I really don’t see much wrong here - these are people working on a live event; most would be working through the anthem, feeding information to newsrooms around the world. I wouldn’t expect the camera operators, board operators, lighting, sound, and security to stop what they were doing either.

My father used to make me stand at the beginning of ball games

************************************************************************

The national anthem at ball games shows favoritism to Mexicans, right at the start.

“José can you see”...............

“My father used to make me stand at the beginning of ball games lol”

I do that.

But, in fairness I can’t get too excited about this story. I see that some are standing, but many of the others seem to be working.

They are there to report on this event, they are not really taking part in it. I wouldn’t judge their patriotism based on whether or not they stood for the national anthem in these circumstances.

Other than the Super Bowl or World Series you are hard pressed to see/hear the anthem played on tv events anymore. They cut in at kick off or first pitch or when Bob Costas wants to whine about his menstrual cycle.
