I think it’s kind of dumb we play the national anthem at sporting events anyway. Why don’t we do it in movie theaters before the trailers or in restaurants before we eat?

It is just what we do.

This continues to be a ridiculous defense. Slavery is also used to be “just what we do.”

You could even argue it’s disrespectful to the anthem to play it before a meaningless sporting event.

I don’t see how.

It trivializes something as important as the anthem with something as meaningless and hollow as a baseball game.

I don’t see how it trivialized the Anthem, especially when people give it the proper respect when played(removing caps if worn and putting hand on heart and standing at attention.

btw, was game 7 of the World Series last year meaningless and hollow to you?
