https://sports.yahoo.com/crowd-boos-theres-no-national-anthem-softball-game-stands-sing-cappella-version-225131766.html

On Friday night, the public address announcer at a high school softball championship game in Fresno, California announced that there would be no national anthem performed prior to the game.

The crowd erupted in boos at the announcement before performing an impromptu a cappella version of the Star-Spangled Banner, The Fresno Bee reports.

Players from Clovis and Buchanan high schools paused their warmups to face an American flag, and the crowd broke into cheers at the end of the rendition, according to the report.
Lack of anthem was protocol for the event schedule

Event coordinator Bob Kayajanian explained the decision to not have an organized rendition of the anthem planned for the game to the Bee.

The national protocol is the first game of the session you have the national anthem, Kayajanian said. The games after that are just played. We got caught (off-guard). Both the teams turned to face the field and they all started singing the national anthem. They started to play some music, and the people took that as the national anthem and they all started singing, which I think is obviously a wonderful thing to show off their patriotism.

We try to follow with what normally gets done. Its all a learning experience for everyone and (going forward) were playing the national anthem at every game.
National debate plays out in local softball game

This rendition of the anthem at a high school softball game warrants attention in the wake of the NFLs decision to allow fines when players and team staff dont stand at attention for the anthem. Its a decision that was influenced by President Donald Trump and applauded publicly by Vice President Mike Pence.

Polling showed that the NFL decision was overwhelmingly approved by NFL fans...

What is it worth conservatives and quoting liberals as saying things that no one has ever said

Is it a victim complex thing?

CE tells me no one has EVER used a gun in self-defense! CE tells me no one EVER cares about the anthem!

Ill go ahead and wait for you to quote me on that.

And obviously guns in particular have nothing to do with it. As I explicitly said, Im talking about a pattern of behavior with the usual suspects.

Yah, Im not gonna go digging through topics.

You said he majority of America doesnt care and then I asked you about some team called the Blackhawks and if their fans cared and then you went absent or brought up guns or something thats doesnt matter.

You butchered like 3 trump quotes so Im guessing the usual suspects is yourself?

Lmao

You said that in response to me saying that some of these people are hypocritical and buying concessions or using the restroom during the anthem. Meanwhile, the Trump quote you accused me of making up was because he said maybe protestors should leave the country and I didnt include the word maybe in the topic title due to character limits, but posted the full quote in the OP. The abject horror.

You really do love making shit up to fit your narrative *cough*charlottesville*cough*

I think hardly any of us were bothered by the singing beyond thats a little weird/jingoistic. Thats just an opinion. I dont mind the anthem personally, I stand for it and sing hand over my heart.

What admittedly does get under my skin is when right wing people take a story like this and do a victory lap, screaming TAKE THAT, LIBS!!! and making up shit that didnt happen to make this some grand triumph over adversity. Its obnoxious and disingenuous.

The president saying maybe they should leave instead of they should leave is NOT the most important part of the quote. Jesus.

And do you know why I bring up Charlottesville repeatedly? Because after that, you are the LEAST qualified person to talk about twisting facts to fit narratives, the LAST person who should condescend to others about keeping dialogue honest and unbiased, but yet youre always the first to accuse others of it. You saw a man plow a truck into innocents and launched into a lengthy defense of how he was just trying to escape violent liberals. That was your assumption of what happened, because you are fatally biased and cannot approach these topics with an ounce of reason.

Stop trying to talk like youre the only adult in the room and Ill stop pointing out how hypocritical you are.
