Booing during the National Anthem

[BmorePat87]

In Baltimore we yell "OOOOOOOOOO". It's a song from our city about the Battle of Baltimore. We tend to feel a little more pride over it than others.

Others hate it, though. The Nats writers for the Washington Post always complain, prompting the Baltimore Sun to respond with "Don't you guys race dead presidents around the field?"


Is it disrespectful? Many would say it is. For us, it's about pride in the song, but I at least accept that many see it as disrespectful. I think booing is far more disrespectful than quietly kneeling, but that's just me. I imagine they see it as them standing up for the anthem.
