Youth Football protest

[GMDino]

This is amusing to me because the song has been our National Anthem for less time than women have had the right to vote.

And it was that well know progressive-who-started-the-country-toward-ruin Woodrow Wilson who even tied it to the military officially.

Quote:"The Star Spangled Banner", was ordered played at military and naval occasions by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, but was not designated the national anthem by an Act of Congress until 1931.

Much like adding "under God" to the pledge it is not steeped in any great tradition but people are fighting about respect and disrespect over a song that very few know all the words too or can even sing correctly.
