South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster issued a statewide proclamation designating Sunday as Stand for the Flag Super Bowl Sunday.

The governors proclamation encourages all South Carolinians to stand for the playing of the national anthem before the Super Bowl LII matchup between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles.

In a campaign email to his supporters, McMaster was more pointed in his attack against NFL players.

This football season weve seen NFL players disrespect our veterans by taking a knee to our nations flag and anthem, McMaster wrote. In South Carolina, we respect our veterans and our men and women in the armed forces.

And the worst thing about is this guy claims the words to the Anthem is about protecting a young nation. The war of 1812 was about shipping rights , and we invaded Canada.

This isnt anything mandatory, its a voluntary sign of respect for the country. So long as you have the freedom not to stand, I dont have a single issue with this proclamation.

The proclamation itself is just virtue signalling. It's not something that can be enforced, and is just a Governor posturing trying to bring a dead narrative back into the spotlight. Presumably because he's up for reelection this year and has nothing else to flaunt in a campaign.

He's asking people to voluntarily engage in something as a sign of respect to the country. Not really sure why you have an issue with that. If you don't agree with him, you're free to kneel.

first time seahawks went to the superbowl in 06 I had a super bowl party. Right as the national anthem started I stood up to go to the bathroom. A couple of my friends/guests stood up with me so I thought it was a race for the bathroom so I like sprinted out the room. Everyone was a bit confused and the other guys stayed standing. I came back kind of WTF why are you guys standing and it was because I stood for the anthem they felt they had to as well.

Give it a shot this sunday if you are watching with people. Lots of sheep out there.

While also calling those who don't do as he asks disrespectful and "against American and her soldiers" basically.

Like I said before the war 1812 was about maritime rights not saving the nation. In fact the only people fighting for freedom in the war of 1812 were the Canada who the US invaded in the Slaves who the songs celebrates their deaths . Let's start there.

It's not semantics to call you out when you use a word that's completely wrong and totally changes the meaning of what's being discussed.

Where does the proclamation say anything about the War of 1812? The Star Spangled Banner was never made the anthem because it was meant to honor that war, it's the symbolic song about the flag enduring hardship that is meant to represent the country. The tradition of singing it before games is meant as a sign of respect also.

Forcing people to participate in patriotic dedications to the state sounds like some communist stuff to me.

We all know making this into an apparent show of disrespect to the troops and the country is just another for way those in power use to disrupt and discredit protests towards authority whether it be the police or the president and current government.

The things says " its Lyrics Celebrating the American Flag and the historic victory won by brave Americans fighting and sacrificing to preserve our young nation" The is speaking about the lyrics of the song. This war as a fight so rich people could get richer .
