I've wanted the anthem and pledge gone for my entire life. If something is irrelevant, then it should not exist. I could choose to not dance the Macarena before every NASCAR race, but I'd rather they not force it into the festivities and make anyone make a choice. The fuck does the Macarena have to do with sports. I don't fucking care whether that guy can choose to sit down or that other guy can dance his heart out. Shove the Macarena up your ass, NASCAR! Maybe every sporting event should have 3 hours of optional unrelated activities for the players and fans before the start. You can choose to participate in whichever ones you want. --- http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/NIR_Hockey.png http://www.last.fm/user/hockeybub89/ <cite>hockeybub89 posted [p:950494408] in The Dallas...
