re: When did LSU quit asking people to stand for the National Anthem?

quote:

OP is upset that we as a culture have lost collective pride in our country, etc. such that announcers at games are too fearful to even ask, not demand as you incorrectly described, that people stand--which, as you correctly point out, they do not have to do. OP may be right or wrong in that disappointment. But that is what they are upset about.

I did not use the verb “demand”. I used the verb “tell”, which is accurate. “Please stand” is telling someone, albeit politely, to do something.

But more importantly, did you enjoy knocking over that strawman you built?
