of our sick sports-obsessed culture.

When I go to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned, or take my dog to the vet, or go out to eat in a restaurant, go see a movie, concert or play, the National Anthem isn't played.

We act as if a damn football game is a sacred, religious event. What the hell difference does it make whether some jocks stand, sit, kneel, or whistle zippy de do dah outta their assholes? What skin is it off your nose?

And I say the same thing when John Rocker made politically incorrect political statements, or Reggie White said homosexuality was a sin. Freedom of speech, and, who gives a shite?

I don't know when it began, but it is not limited to football and it is not limited to the NFL.

It is played prior to all sporting events. National Anthems of countries are played prior to International Matches such as Hockey or FIFA Soccer matches. They are played at the Olympics during the awarding of medals.

So it is not limited to America.

I’m sorry, you must be from another country. In the United States we stand for our flag.

The military is paying the NFL a shite load of money to play the national anthem, display American flags the size of football fields, have military personnel on the sidelines, have military fly-overs, etc, all as a recruitment tool and psyops to brain wash Americans to buy into the military industrial complex’s lust for war.

And like any good whore, the NFL spreads its legs and says, “pay up!”

But as long as the Saints are winning, I don’t give a shite.

American sports are meant to bring people together no matter what religion, race or creed. The National Anthem is a part of that. It is a time where we can all be unified by putting our hands over our hearts and singing. Crazy to think that this is such an insane idea now. What a weird time we live in.

Because it's what you do at sporting events, play the National Anthem AND stand. You know why? Because it's a RESPECT thing. It's not an oppressed thing, it's not a protest thing. You STAND for the National Anthem. Don't like it? Move to another damn country and go make millions over there. I'm sick and tired of hearing stand, don't stand. When that National Anthem is played you fricking stand!
