You've had near 20,000 Americans turning out for NBA games and 80,000 or more for NFL games, and I don't know how many for MLB games.
IMO, the mere freedom that we have in this country to so freely engage in such a cornucopia of sporting events is a reason for celebration. The anthem is just a reminder of how we came to be such a free people.
Agreed, but when did playing the Anthem become political?
Agreed. I meant removing the anthem from games in this situation seems like a political move.
