why are we the only nation that feels the need to play the anthem before non-international sporting events?


Well there used to be this thing called American pride, but since 2008 there’s been a war on it. The fact is we’re still the greatest nation ever and it should be fought for. But Obama and BLM have the simpletons convinced that America is bad.

In my public grade school, our protestant teachers told us how the godless Russians brainwashed their children.

Then, with no realization of the irony, our teachers made us all stand each morning and recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing a patriotic song such as America the Beautiful or Battle Hymn of the Republic.

You dont think other nations have pride in their countries? im sorry i just dont think it's nnecassary for us to be doing this before domestic sporting events. now before international games yea its needed.

and before someone makes some dumb crack i stand and actually sing along everytime the anthem is played so this sint some sort of "lack of patriotism" issue. I just dont think its something thats necessary.

If it’s harmless as you imply, then why remove it? It’s there and it’s been going on for decades and hasn’t hurt anyone.

It’s not because it’s politically motivated is it? No, couldn't be...

Yea, frick the country that allows you to dribble a fricking ball and throw it into a hoop and become a multi millionaire.

This country is becoming less patriotic by the day which causes a bigger divide than playing it. It’s never been a problem, so why now?

"I just don't think it's necessary". And another American tradition crumbles under liberal attacks. Back in my day, males used male bathrooms, females used their bathrooms. People were identified by their biological gender. Now that is replaced by gender-centric pronouns. Our National Press Secretary & her male partner have "2 humans" as children. etc etc etc.

They won’t answer it because they’re the new sheeple and that’s what the radical left and BLM is telling them to do. They have zero reason or logical rationale in cancelling something that harms no one and has gone on for decades.

Playing the National Anthem or not doesn't solve any of this

I mean that’s not really exclusive to America. American players make the most because the market is bigger, but there are many many countries that allow you to make millions dribbling a ball.

It’s not just the anthem. Cuban hired a CEO named Cynt Marshall after a bunch of his employees including the former CEO were sexually harassing female employees. She is a UC Berkley glad so you can see what we are dealing with. Last year she got rid “the hottest dance team in the NBA” as they were called, the Mavs dancers.


I love when leftists educated beyond their intelligence screw over the very people they purport to "care" about*. All this feminist did was reduce opportunities for women.






*She really doesn't care about women. Male customers enjoyed looking at the dance team. For no other reason they had to be eliminated.

Unless you guys are playing the national anthem at the beginning of all of your work meetings, hunts, finishing excursions, and church services, you don’t have any room to talk.

Keep the anthem for the Olympics where individual countries are being represented.

Hell, most of us don’t like or identify with NBA players anyway.
