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?
