Just realized I've only been to one sporting event in recent years since becoming a commie and learning about all the horrific stuff Amerikkka has done (and I was really late to it so the issue of the national anthem never came up). Now that I do, there is no way in hell I can ever stand for the anthem.
If you ever sat down for the anthem, what happened? I'm conflicted over what I think might happen. On one hand, Americans see it as a personal affront if you don't participate in the civil religion. Because everyone stands, you immediately stand out and people immediately think "wtf is this guy's problem, does he not love America?"
OTOH, I believe Americans desperately avoid confrontation unless alcohol is involved. And since the anthem is at the start of the game maybe that's not a problem? Idk I'm just curious about your experiences.
And it's that I don't really want to get into it with someone, it's just I have no idea how to even begin to articulate my thoughts on all the evil shit we've done when some stranger is yelling at you.
I did this once at a Spurs game. Was buying popcorn and all the hogs literally stopped what they were doing, turned around, and put their hands over their hearts when the national anthem started. In North Korea something something something...
Burglars should just bring a speaker with them to play the national anthem with. The residents won't be able to move
:michael-laugh: that's a good bit
