I don't see a problem with it and at the same time, I really couldn't care less if it wasn't played. What makes me roll my eyes is the attitude of..."We MUST play the national anthem and EVERYONE MUST stand before all sporting events or our country is dying from woke liberal activists who hate America". What a load of BS....and quite frankly, it takes away from the meaning of actually playing it. I always laugh when middle-school- aged events play a prerecorded anthem off of Youtube or something and then everyone claps when its done. The person singing or playing the instrument is not even in the building. I'm not sure why but it always reminds me of how weird humans are and how easily conditioned we are. 1 Link to comment

Or what about when one of your friends sings it at an event and it's awful but you're their friend so you gotta be like "You nailed it!" when really you just wanted to drive an actual nail into each of your ears Link to comment

So, they would have her sing it. One time at a cross country meet, it was almost worse than Roseanne Barr's rendition. Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 What a buncha ‘Merica hating woke liberals. The National anthem should be played continuously throughout all sporting events…cuz ‘Merica. And now that we know better, any rendition by anyone other than Chris effin Stapleton is an affront to true patriotism and should be banned. 1 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Why don't these politicians actually ever want people to answer their questions? Link to comment

It was the default position for millions of Americans who didn't bother to declare it a movement. It has always had more than a foothold. It swept Ronald Reagan into office. 1 Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Iowa Republicans doing us proud again. https://www.meatingplace.com/Industry/News/Details/108464 Introducing a bill that would allow child labor (14 & 15 year olds) in beef packing plants. One of the most dangerous environments for anyone to work in. A little background. One of the large sanitation companies (the companies that come in 3rd shift and clean/sanitize processing facilities) just got busted for using child labor. Poor them.....excuse was they couldn't find enough employees. The more accurate reason is because they couldn't fill positions for the amount of money they wanted to pay. So some R lawmakers in Iowa thought it wise to now allow child labor. Almost every death and dismemberment you've ever heard of in a packing plant has occurred on 3rd shift cleanup. Employees get in large blenders, grinders etc. that are not properly locked out, somebody flips the switch and viola, mangled employees. I can't even fathom the thought process on this. 1 Link to comment
