Anyone else OK with stopping all National Anthems at sporting events?
I don't see the need. I am in the minority I am sure.
Have it on special days, etc. But not before every event.

The NFL isn't hemorrhaging fans quickly enough to suit the primitives. They won't be happy until football is bankrupted, dead, and gone.

22. Absolutely... it's embarrassing.
No need to bring over too many replies since the other primitives are in pretty much universal agreement with Dummy DUfacto.
A notable exception:

24. There are plenty of "hills" I'm prepared to die on.
Removing the National Anthem from sporting events is not one of them.
Their attempt to get Trump backfired, so now it would seem that they have no further use for football.

27. No more anthems at simulations of war please.
Unless we start singing the anthem at the natural history museums and National Parks and all the other sectors of a sane and well-rounded culture.
Wow... Here's an idea. Can we sue the commercial sports establishments for even using our "collectively owned" music? Shouldn't the NFL be charged? Sued? Then send the money to the hundreds of thousands of adjunct professors sleeping in their cars and the millions of students too hungry in the morning to study... god, what a f**d up culture war.
That is a stupid idea.

30. The attempt to associate (mostly) male athletics with patriotism....
...has Patriarchy written all over it. The current fetish of white fans/owners for making (mostly) black athletes obey is one of the more obvious manifestations of systemic racism.
"Watch us make those ------s do what we/you tell 'em," the NFL promises.
Not racism, MAGA!

Well, given the considerable amount of money most of these "mostly black athletes" are paid, it seems such a small thing on which to demand "obedience."

I wish I could personally tell ll the DUpipo on that thread to kiss my butt.

Yes, you can. I think you should start a fundraiser and do it. Someone contact Beth Ferrari.

Was discussing this the other evening. Every professional sporting event I've ever attended, as well as most amateur ones, has the national anthem performed. Leave it to liberals to be butthurt by such a minor issue.

Maybe they can have "Happy Birthday" & Christmas carols banished as well.

Aren't they already on the mission to ban Christmas Carols.... for... reasons...

Nothing aggravates me more then these America haters. They live here and enjoy the benefits of a free society and want to take a dump on it ..

"Watch us make those ------s do what we/you tell 'em,"
Those -------s are being paid MILLIONS for PLAYING with a F**KING BALL!!! :thatsright: :thatsright:
No one is making thme do anything, they can find another job any time they want. The nfl can hire a bunch of mexicans to play for $10.00 a game and cut the ticket price by 90% :rant: :rant: :rant:

We are the real owners. They play at our leisure. We own the stadiums, we pay the advertisers. We ultimately own them.
As long as the public stays away the multi-million dollar contracts will stop. Once that happens these dullards will realize who truly pays them. **** them, they’re a service industry and are about to be taught an economics lesson.

Hate to bring this up to DUpipos, but most conservatives are way ahead of the curve on boycotting the NFL.
