He was focusing on the show that he and his wife had put together, including picking the singers for the first two songs.

He said it wasn’t out of protest.

I would like to think I’d stand, even in a private room (where I didn’t think the camera would catch me!)

But I don’t stand in my home when it’s on before a game.

I don’t think it was on purpose.

But then he goes on to say how he made major protest statements with the columbian and spanish singes he chose so he’s still an idiot.

But I dont think he sat out of malice.

Either way, I realized once again what a Beautiful and Poignant song it is and how so many have sacrificed so much for our country.

I also wonder if simmons know that a black man was one of the first to die on our side in the battle of which the song is based on.

When I was on Active Duty some officers I knew timed their arrival and departures so they could avoid saluting the flag in front of the building. I always thought that was atrocious behavior for an officer. I always felt it was an honor to realize they were working with the flag and stand and reflect for a moment of appreciation. Those moments that build joy.

These imbeciles took their honeymoon in Potemkin Cuba.

If Beyoncé sings the National Anthem, it is 100% self serving.

Did she leave her Antifa endorsed Kill a Cop Today costume at home this year?

Thugs. Pure thugs.
