Is it time to do away with the National Anthem or at least replace it?

[Bigun]

LOL at this lady thinking "Imagine" by John Lennon would be a good replacement.

I'm beginning to think it would be a good thing for the NFL and others to do away with it. Would take away Kap's ridiculous self serving protest show.

 

[allvol123]

Sure. They can do away with my attendance as well.

I said the same thing in another post last week. I'm just not sure what exact purpose is served by singing the anthem before sporting events. There was some group that sung "This land is your land" before their event, which I thought was a good idea.

Ray Charles’ version of “America the Beautiful”.

And no other version.

The anthem is fine. Just leave the teams in the locker room until game time... like it used to be.

 

[happy-go_vol]

they should ban all whites from games and pay for only blacks to attend.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Nah, the Anthem is fine. I don't understand why we play it before sports games though.

Absolutely! White people watching a mostly non-white sports team owned by mostly white owners is inherently racist and resembles a slave auction. All organized sports are racist

It'll never go. It will offend the God haters.

But whose land is it? Colonizers!!

It appears so.

New national anthem? Pfffft. That's a no brainer.

Other people standing for the anthem is now “horrifying” and “dystopian”?

People standing for national anthem horrifies progressives in viral video

Poor people, I feel sorry for them (the patriotic diners) who live in what is now a hostile and foreign land called California.

 

[volbound1700]

I would be fine with having this as the National Anthem:

 

[Go aeiou]

America the Beautiful

You don’t have to stand for the anthem.
You are also free to kneel for the anthem.

But to be disgusted and horrified over others choosing to stand? Dystopian? Give me a break.

Forced patriotism is fascism.

 

[hog88]

Forced patriotism is fascism.

Agreed but being horrified by a voluntary display of patriotism is wussyism.
