Are they serious? Nobody even knows this verse exists. It isn't part of the song, just the poem.
But I feel like I'm whistling past the graveyard, when organized sports return fully the National Anthem will not be part of it.
Do they know this line from This Land is Your Land?
As I went walking I saw a sign there,
And on the sign it said “No Trespassing.”
But on the other side it didn’t say nothing.
That side was made for you and me.
When they return, I will not be part of it.
