I remember asking my brother do they sing the national anthem before a football game. This was about a year or two ago. I told him I remember Bocephus' "Are You Ready for Some Football" and then Carrie Underwood's "Sunday Night Football Theme," but not the national anthem. I was tempted to think that NFL thought it was not PC to show patriotism before the game, and I told him what I thought. His response was "no, they pre-empt it to show commercials, but at the stadium they do the anthem." Fast-forward to the present, now the show the anthem but now with the added controversy. The anthem didn't mean much until "Spangle-gate." Every part of it is fabricated drama, imo.

I mean flag etiquette is dumb as **** cause who cares? But it's still funny to see flag-worshipping conservatives be so ignorant.

Use the flag however the **** you want. Putting unquestionable power into symbols is for brownshirts.
