Do you even know why the anthem began being played before sporting events?
Who cares?

I actually think the circus used to.

But, of course, that’s been PCed out of existence all together.

I’m really curious what this solves moreover this country and the anthem which honors it is the reason a team like the Dallas Mavericks, all the concessions, that arena, and the players with their salaries and lifestyles exist, frick that team

Why do we even do the national anthem before games? I don’t sing it before I start my work day.

Do people excitedly yell and scream if you do something good at work? Should we stop that too in sports?

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that the “keep politics out of sports” crowd is having a meltdown about a political song being removed from a sporting event?

Playing the national anthem before games and kids saying the pledge at school are both fricking weird

Huh? I just thought the guy’s attempt at “logic” stunk. Speaking of which, what political side is represented by the anthem again?

They must teach this in Wanna-be Internet Edgelord 101 because it's apparently the internet cool guy thing to say.

Yes we see you, we see all of you. Here's your attention.

I’d expect a team in a very liberal area to do this like Portland or Golden State.

This ain’t gonna fly in Dallas.

Whatever. Land of the free. They aint got to play the anthem. frick em. But we aint got to spend anytime watching their shite product either. You wanna pay $100 + a ticket to watch overpaid human beings play a game thats fine, but Im done ever going to any sporting even regardless
of an anthem, I wont support rich out of touch owners and players, they can kiss my arse. To be completely honest its all bullshite rigged leagues anyways

Let’s not forget the motivation for this is an epidemic of police murder of innocent unarmed black men that doesn’t actually exist.

Ultimately we are cowards. We take away the anthem so we don’t have to face the uncomfortable task of telling the truth in the face of a false narrative.
