How low we have sunk!

Cubs’ owner Phillip Wrigley refused for years to allow the Anthem played at Cubs games because he felt such frequency cheapened the Anthem. The Cubs only relented in the ‘60s.

To be honest, perhaps he was correct? It does, think about it.

Never heard that before, but I tend to agree.

I really don't like the "all veterans stand up" part of sporting events. I served. Got it. No need to be clapped at before every game.
