Lets have football without having the national anthem before the game. WTF does the national anthem have to do with a football game?
That way all the nuts who believe in forced patriotism can still enjoy the game without getting all pissy about people who don't agree with their political views.
We live in the United States, not North Korea. This is supposed to be a free country. It is ridiculous to have the leader of a free country losing his shit over someone who does not comply with forced acts of patriotism.
This is a free country friend which is why we play the anthem cause it represents that freedom. Its pretty easy to just respect the flag and then play football. Not hard at all. Then when the game is over protest whatever you want on your own time. This really aint hard but people like to make it that way cause it gives them something to be mad about where there is no reason to be mad.
staying on football though, I just want to watch a football game where they play football. If i want anything else i'll turn on the news or read the paper. On sundays though, I want football to just be football.
