Cypress High School here in Houston has announced the Anthem will no longer be played at football games “to avoid controversy”.
And so it begins.
This makes me very, very sad.
The reality is, other than these athletes getting their fifteen minutes of fame, nothing productive is coming of their protests.
And that last sentence quoted above: I asked someone yesterday who is a Gullible and agreed with the protest what good it has done. They can’t articulate one positive thing. It’s impossible. Being Gullible is hard work.
If they are providing it as part of their duties as police officers, they can’t withhold the escort based on a political act made by the people they are escorting. That is a clear equal protection issue.
But, I’ve been told, that these are off-duty sheriffs doing a bit of moonlighting on their own time, which is a different matter.
