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

I noticed this on Friday and Saturday at the softball games....

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please remove your hats as we play the National Anthem."

99% of places I go to say "please stand for the National Anthem."

But less than 5 minutes later, the announcer begs us to stand and yell for the Tigers as they are announced... then we are asked to stand for the 7th (5th) inning stretch...

I don't seem to recall "please stand" not included during football season...

Exactly why LSU won’t get a dime from me for the alumni association

They also used to say *and join in singing the national anthem* and scrolled the words on the scoreboard.

Stand if you want to or not. I always stand (whether asked to or not) and always sing it.

Wow it sounds like a super secret hidden liberal agenda to morally bankrupt our softball fans

I suppose it's the same reason Jim Nance announced at the basketball national championship game "if you're willing and able" to stand for the national anthem.

We've become a weak country that bows to the whims of any minority view. Wait until they offer reduced ticket prices for the new transgender section of Tiger Stadium.

I don't really care what anyone does for the anthem. You shouldn't either.

This is a big reason why I no longer donate to LSU but instead give that money to the 700 Club.

But it's so much better to come here and complain about it. tRant virtue signalling at its best.

So...you don't care what anyone else does, but you're telling him how he should think. Priceless.

Do you stand when you're at home watching it on TV? Or do you Just want people to see you stand and pretend the anthem is connected to your "patriotism?" It's none of your business
