Are there bars where they make people stand when the anthem is played on the TV at sporting events?
I'm just wondering if anyone has ever seen this.
I have seen it at a bar once during the Superbowl, but never during regular season or playoff games. Frankly, I don't have a problem with it. It's their bar, their rules. As long as those rules aren't things like "No Blacks or Homersexuals Allowed!!", I have no problem with that. Or if they try to force handicapped people to stand. That ain't good either.
My son and I were stuck at an airport four years ago during the superbowl. All the people at the seating area were watching the TV, but none of them stood during the anthem.
Why is there this apparent disconnect between how people act in the stadium and how they act when they are just watching a broadcast of the same event? Doesn't the anthem evoke the same sense of pride?
