Should sport be and sports personal be involved with politcs

Why us that? @QuixoticSoul

@Spoiledbrat Because it's fucking stupid. No, we don't need to have a patriotic struggle session just to watch the damn game. It's banana republic shit, except even most of them have more common sense.

Plus, the US anthem is horrible, so that just adds to the embarrassment.

Its purpose us to unite us all. @QuixoticSoul

@QuixoticSoul YES! I'm old enough to remember when TV NEVER showed the national anthem at NFL games. Let's get back to that.

@Spoiledbrat Play the damn game, save that nonsense for a political rally.

Why don’t you mot watch football?? It’d be a lot easier than complaining about it. @luckranger71

Maybe just don’t watch football if you don’t like it. @QuixoticSoul

@Spoiledbrat I don't watch the NFL because it's boring now because the rules favor the offense too much. But would I be inclined to watch more if all the players kneeled for the anthem? Yes. And thanks for asking.

@Spoiledbrat I don't - it's a goofy burger sport with few redeeming qualities.

I do, however, go to my local hockey games, and have to deal with this faux-patriotic bullshit every single fucking time.

And there we go the reason I’m republican. You just want to tear American down and make it yours or something. I got news for you no one especially likes the national anthem. It’s just supposed to remind you of your freedom and choice to unite. 😀 Ironic that you don’t like it.

@Spoiledbrat The national anthem is the reason you've a Republican? Yay! Fuck your own personal financial situation, but way to stick it to those elites. 😂 Or apologies if your net worth is over 1.5 million.

@Spoiledbrat What does any of this have to do with political parties? Democrats and republicans are both fucking stupid, what of it?

Banana-republic level displays of obsequious faux-patriotism don't remind me of freedom lmao. That shit just reeks of insecurity. People who are actually free don't even think about that sort of nonsense, and their feelings of national fealty don't need maintenance.

Don’t be ignorant. I didn’t say that. @luckranger71

You have no desire for anything but your own agenda. @QuixoticSoul

@Spoiledbrat False.

That’s what I see. @QuixoticSoul

@QuixoticSoul No skin off my nose - but while you are at it - tell that to every civilized game playing nation on the Planet - because ALL of them do it. If you are going to hide behind the word LOCAL - that's because they are just trying to mimic the pros.

@MarmeeMarch No, normal nations only do the anthem thing in high level international competition, and sometimes only for the winners or not at all. This is seriously just a bizarre burger tryhard habit.

@QuixoticSoul Could be and it also could be giving the lower players to someday be professional or at least look like it. It shows when the US always leaves the olympics with buckets of gold medals on a consistent basis.
