Opinions don’t matter in this. You cannot assault someone for sitting quietly . It doesn’t matter if you like it or not. If we start slapping everyone that needs to be slapped, my hands would be… well it would be hard to leave the house my friends.
This is precisely where the catch 22 lies, imo. I agree 100% with what you're saying.
But I also firmly believe that if more people are not assaulted for sitting quietly, we will cease to exist as America. By assault, I do not necessarily mean physically. The mindset that makes one want to sit quietly needs to be eradicated.

No need for the parenthesis, that is their right whether you agree with it or not.
Ive never denied that it is their right.
My whole point here is for people to consider what happens if we allow too many people to exercise that right and to become too comfortable showing disrespect for this country. There is probably a better way of phrasing that.
Sitting during the national anthem seems trivial, as a passing thought. But the justifications for allowing/ignoring it are the same as those for allowing/ignoring that entire cities are being taken over and fundamentally changed to something that isn't is alignment with the American spirit.

Something I was thinking recently. Have we always placed our hands over our hearts for the National Anthem. I remember as a kid always standing for it but i feel like holding the hand over the heart developed after my childhood. Am I dreaming that?
Proper for non-military citizens. Was doing this as an elementary student many moons ago.

The pledge is made up bullshite like Kwanzaa. The anthem is a song, not a law or the Constitution.
bullshite you say..... It's a song with meaning listen to the words, you fricking stand up because you're supposed to be a proud AMERICAN the words have meaning and if you don't stand up you should be called out and should made to look like the fool you are in front of everybody.
I would do it in a heartbeat, people that do shite need to be treated like shite keep standing by and do nothing, that's why this country is so fricked up, frick anybody that I see do it

Shouldn’t be able to physically assault someone over a word and most of the time
, ALLEGEDLY that word.
If assault over a word is “okay”, this is acceptable.
Once someone is offended, they can respond with any level of force nowadays.
The right can bitch slap a punkass for not standing and the left can kill over opinions they dislike.

The way I was taught...you place your hand over your heart during the Pledge of Allegiance, and if you are wearing a hat for either the pledge or the National Anthem, you take off your hat and hold it across your chest. The hand over your heart while singing the National Anthem seems to have become a thing in the late 90s or early 2000s. Before that, you just stood, looked to the flag and sang.
I will add that I sold cokes in Neyland Stadium in the 80s (carrying racks of them through the bleachers). We would stop selling anything and would face the direction of the flag for the National Anthem...no exceptions.

I don't recite the pledge of allegiance, because I swore an oath to what matters, the Constitution, not a flag. The pledge was written by a socialist, Bellamy.
You're getting downvoted, but if people put some thought into what the words of the pledge mean, they would understand that it reinforces putting the State above oneself and your liberties, and promotes being a single nation-state over the sovereignty of the individual States.
Many are just finding out it was a socialist that wrote it to promote Socialist beliefs.

If I was the kid, I would sue the shite out of the guy because deserved (it is) or not, it's battery and on video.

As someone on the OT said, this boomer was not elected to be sheriff of the patriot police. Mind your own business.

Yep, exactly.

Wish it happened at every stadium.
I could understand that. But, a question for you:
Would you do that?
I know I wouldn't. I would get sued and lose my job.
Plus, I mean if you think about it, battery is a worse thing than not standing for the NA.

I love my country. I will stand for anything that honors my country.
