I mean, that's all well and good, but does it have to happen at a game? I feel like at this point it would be the same as doing the national anthem before a movie, which would be ridiculous.

It's a tradition that has been with our country, basically, since major sporting began.

Saying "well maybe we shouldn't have it in the first place" because a small group of millionaire sports players suddenly want to be edgy and use it as a protest while they're on the clock and in gear is not a reason to suddenly start questioning the anthem and what it represents.

It's a reason to tell them to go cry wolf on their own time.

Kaepernick's own words are, I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color"

So, it's not that he thinks it's boring or meaningless, or that he doesn't understand the value of the anthem. He understands it all---he just doesn't want to show pride in our country.

Very simple to understand, and you heard it straight from his ungrateful and disrespectful mouth.

After a Google search, "As legend has it, singing the national anthem at sporting events began during the 1918 World Series, when the nation was at war."

I really can't speak much on your claims. All I know is singing the national anthem is absolutely nothing new.

Maybe you could post some sort of documentation or sources I could read further into.

The Department of Defense pays the NFL to play the anthem and have the athletes out there as part of their marketing ploy to increase military recruitment. Especially considering the DoD hasn't been hitting their recruitment numbers for a long while as is. It's not about patriotism, but propaganda at this point.

I hear things lose their meaning when you overuse them. I also thought we hate meaningless virtue signaling. Playing the anthem at every literally every sporting event in America seems like overuse. Why are sporting events something to be especially patriotic about compared to literally anything else where we don't play the anthem?

The funny thing is most of the networks don't even show the anthem because they know people don't care and it just gives them time for more ads.

I mean even when they do show it, most people watching on TV are definitely not sitting quietly or singing along.

If all the players kneel, do they have to start the game all the way back at the Waffle House on Bayard Street?

There's no actual hard proof that's the reason. The NFL's viewership has been in decline since 2015.

And to be topical, because guess who brought it up while discussing NASCAR the other day - if there's no kneeling being done in NASCAR, why are NASCAR's viewership and attendance ratings plummeting?
