They don’t want to show favoritism, doncha know.
ala refusing to wear flag pins after 9-11
Is ANYONE shocked?
My father used to make me stand at the beginning of ball games lol
You see, he was 1st generation from Italy, but NOW he was American.
See mexicans et. al., see how it works?
Trump should point this out.
Jeez, you think they would at least turn around, stop playing games and pay attention, at the least.
Only following their God Obama's leadership.
It was the American anthem, not the Communist one.
That’s why they weren’t at attention.
MEDIA STANDS WHEN MEXICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYED IN MEDIA FILING ROOM
-
ANTHEM?
WHAT USA ANTHEM ??
WE DON NEED NO STINKIN USA ANTHEM!
there fixed it
Stand up dumbasses. Don’t make me come over there.
A few days ago I had the opportunity to go to a small school cross country meet invitational where 17 schools had come early on a Saturday morn to run 3.1 miles. It was about 10-15 minutes til start time, varsity squads were at the starting line stretching, having team meeting, encouraging one another, jr varsity & jr high squads were scattered about under school banner canopies when suddenly over the loud speaker came the sound of the National Anthem.
Hard to hear the first notes, no announcement had been made that it was being played, but slowly, athletes stopped running & stretching, parents stood, shushing could be heard as teams quieted each other & EVERYONE at our small country school was standing facing the flag.
It was the 12th of Sept which made it even more overwhelming. Seventeen schools represented by students, coaches, faculty & families were proud & humbled by the freedom they enjoy enough to stop & honor the colors of our nation. It was difficult to have a dry eye!
So glad that out here in fly over country we know how to stop and put first things first!
In my high school, one of the Spanish teachers often patrolled the school grounds during the playing of the National Anthem and raising of the Flag. If he deemed that you were not acting respectfully enough, you got Saturday detention.
The Spanish teacher, born in Argentina, had previously lived in Cuba and fled Castro during the Revolution. He knew what America stood for.
They couldn’t be caught doing anything as gauche as displaying respect for America or making a [patriotic gesture.
What would the liberals, leftists and citizens of the world in their party circuit think of them?
“standing, as most Americans typically do.” Why are we talking about this?? Every one of those reporters were FREE not to stand, whether they were preoccupied, didn’t want to, or had a religion exception. I am grateful to live in a country that would not force this on anyone.
just like the D national convention
anti-American as all get=out
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.
Wow! Ping
That is bad.
“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.
