Does golf sing the national anthem at any point? Do we call them Communists? Do we suggest that they hate America?

No, not sure. Just can’t find anything suggesting they did.

I don’t believe golf plays the national anthem. I’m sure there are exceptions, like the Ryder Cup, but it’s not typically part of the tournament.

So again, if I’m watching a live stream and there are 50,000 viewers, are we supposed to sing the national anthem together?


I’m assuming you’re an adult, but it’s tough to tell with your show of ignorance. Are you at home? Stand if you want. Go grab a beer if you want. When you’re in public, act appropriately. Is it really this hard for you to figure out?

golf


This is a sport that lives with more traditions than any other. They don’t have a tradition of singing the anthem, so there’s no need for them to start one up now if they don’t feel inclined.

The point is you’re making up the “rules” as you go along.

So golf was anti-American and full of communists at one point, when the other sports were singing the national anthem, but now that they’ve been doing it for a while, it’s cool?

Not sure what’s so tough here
Basketball games have historically had the national anthem before them
It’s a tradition
Let’s keep it that way

If you wanna kneel, kneel. If you wanna boo, boo.

But let’s not take it away

Right, but golf never began the tradition. They must have been considered anti-American communists for not instituting that to begin with, yea?

I mean you kinda are implying youre more upset that they are taking away a tradition rather than being upset they are taking away the anthem

Everyone else was being super patriotic reciting the anthem before their events. Why didn’t golf? And why aren’t we more upset about their clear anti-American stance?

I like the tradition of the anthem because i enjoy the showing of patriotism for the 2 or so minutes it takes

Ok, so we’re not worried about golf or tennis, unless they’re playing doubles. If they’re playing doubles, do they sing the anthem? Or are they not popular enough for the anthem?

I mean it is a legitimate question. Why do we play it before sporting events?

Doesn’t tennis play the anthem before it’s events?
I’m not really sure what you’re asking anymore, just looking for some kinda “gotcha moment” and then you’ll finish it up with some cute “before I eat my vegan wrap i say the anthem” you’re just a liberal soy boy troll
Now kindly, frick off

At the end of the day with I’m not fine with the nba stopping the playing of the anthem


ETA: yes I’m completely fricking triggered right now
