“I went to a Rangers game with my brother and we’re standing there [for the anthem] and it felt stupid,” Thomas Wilson said. “It feels like a cult, everyone standing up. The freedom doesn’t stop if we don’t raise the flag. I know that sounds unpatriotic. We know we’re in America. We didn’t forget that. I served for 13 years.”

When "president" Xi Dong needs cannon fodder for the next democRat war, he can just sign an executive order (without taking the time to read it) that will start up the draft once again.
Problem solved. /s
On the ships it was 0600. I’m guessing it was the same for you.
How about the Internationale in honor of the owners of the teams ancestors- the founders of Bolshevikism?
I feel exactly the same way! I have quite watching pro sports. Didn’t watch super bowl, hardly had TV on!
The other thing I remember was on the base at the end of the day at 4:30 they would play retreat, followed by the National Anthem.
In basic training it seemed a heck of a lot earlier.........
The reason we sing the national anthem at sporting events is to unify the two sides of the crowd that hate each other’s team.
Deep down, Humans are tribal and stupid and will do dumb things with a crowd.
Idiots don’t understand this and the evil exploit this.
If you’re going to watch these antiAmerican, Chinese stooge millionaires, you have no desire to hear the anthem. Honestly, I’d prefer my national anthem not be desecrated by being played in front of this traitorous scum.
His ball bouncers hate the country that pays them millions.
Hey, at this point, given the election aftermath, the flag and the anthem are purely exercises in nostalgia, anyhow.
This was the goal all along. Mission accomplished.
Openly hating the United States has become very chic and in vogue on the left. At least everyone on the right half of the political spectrum understands at this point that the Dems and the left have declared a Cold War against the nation and regular, everyday Americans.
You were never on a ship and never in the real navy, a land lubber...
21 years in the Navy and NEVER HEARD THE US NATIONAL ANTHEM?
Again, you are so full of crap. LOL, do you want me to round up the other Navy vets on FR or you dont want to get your your tails caught between your legs?
and so what if Im a land lubber. You’re better than me? Kiss my ass.
Don’t know where you served dude, but I served 23 years in the submarine force. Every, repeat, every base I served on the National Anthem was played every morning at 0800. It was played base wide on the base P.A. system. When it came on everything, walking, cars moving, etc. came to a halt, we faced colors and saluted.
If you were never on a ship then you were never in the navy. You were a REMF.
That was Mourning Colors fool!
