That was a rerun and it was like the fifth time it came on during their shift?

It was the sport coming on they didn't like and not the Anthem?

They had a specific problem with the person singing the Anthem?

There was something else they wanted to watch?

I don't know man. You didn't hear what the guy said and you left the restaurant before they did anything. Get a grip

Probably...a person taking a knee during it will certainly trigger some folks...

Why do we play the anthem before a sporting event? It has never been an issue but it has always seemed silly.....especially MLB games where there are about 6000 a year for every team...it costs about $80 Million a year at the average length of 1.8 minutes per song, 162 games for 30 teams of about 25 players each (more than that in the fall)....and it means almost nothing to the vast majority of the people involved because they are there to drink beer, eat hot dogs and watch or play baseball...not celebrate their collective patriotism.

What is stopping those of you whining about people hating the flag from leaving a country where people are allowed to hate the flag????

He probably realized BET wasn’t on and the remote was gone. Had to go find a stool.

People of a conservative nature HATED Hendrix's version of the anthem at the time....could not stand it....Hendrix was so despised by the right he received hate mail and death threats....until Dick Cavett reminded America that Hendrix was in the 101st airborne...

Which county do you reside, and did it need it's own anthem?

yes, thanks to the democrats, indoctrinated youth, college leftist hack professors, and most importantly the media-- some think the anthem and flag are now racist.

I will never understand how a majority of republicans can believe the deep state exists and has been entrenched for decades but still blindly flag worship and hero worship the military that fought the deep states wars and furthered their agendas.

That’s because you don’t have the ability to see anything but absolutes.

My Dad was as conservative as they come, and he sure as hell didn't get offended by that, and he didn't care if Hendrix was in The 101st, he just thought it was amazing.

Leftists do what their TV sets tell them to do.

That's one of their uniting characteristics. None of them think for themselves.

Correct, sir. A non-story but just enough fuzzy facts to titillate those looking for their next outrage.

How is being proud of our country or being patriotic, flag worship? And how is it backing the Deep State?

Why didn't you ask him what's going on if you're so curious? You scared of black folk?
