Another asshole sits for the anthem. (and yes, I know you all think I’m the asshole)
Another PATRIOT showing us all how great this country really is!
*shrug* I’m… actually on the fence about this issue.
No, what makes this country great, is that he can do it. Actually doing it does not make the country great. It insults the country.
But I agree with this. However, I think it’s neither as offensive nor as benign as people make it out to be. I think what I find most offensive is that people in either camp make such a big deal out of it. The man sat; let him sit. It might be offensive, but it’s less offensive if people don’t draw big red circles with arrows pointing at the man.
It’s like the media feeds off of sensationalism, so who cares if this argument is hurting the country. Let’s argue about it nonstop anyway. The man is allowed to sit, so unless we want to make it illegal for him to do so, just let the man sit as though his voice didn’t matter. To complain about his voice only helps to make it louder.
