USA two different countries at Super Bowl?

[K-town Vol Fan]

And those of us that have served gave you the right to be a dick about it as well

Feel the same way about kneeling?

NFL to Play 'Black National Anthem' at Super Bowl LVII

What’s going on here? Are we divided that bad, that they can’t play the real national anthem? I’m not racist either.

The most irate should be the Hearing impaired AA that were only able to “see” about 2 seconds of the song. Gaffney’s “TD” reception was longer than the signers video time

 

[tvolsfan]

It's an American invention, as baseball is, and it's a way of unifying us before a we vs they sporting event. The fact that these sports are played elsewhere is irrelevant. They play God Save the Queen before an NFL game in London

They don’t before soccer games in England.

When will people (this is a criticism of both leftists and right wingers) get over this fixation with flags, anthems and sloganeering? If one side feels compelled to say "shut up and dribble" and the other side feels compelled to take a knee, seems to me that the pregame (emphasis on "game") ceremonies might take on far more importance than is necessary. Again... it is just a game. And... it is just a piece of cloth and a song. No need for humanity on both sides of this to get worked up over either.







And BTW, this includes my frustration on both sides about the Confederate flag nonsense.







I just don't understand why people allow themselves to get worked up over trivial issues like this when there are far more important issues out here. But I guess bread and circuses...

Alot of people died over the centuries defending that piece of "cloth".

They apparently died for the cloth, but not The Constitution... which is what they took an oath to defend...

The flag is symbolic of the constitution. God bless America and get over it loser!

 

[Matt2496]

A whole thread for something this irrelevant? You're like LG.

Symbolicism often caters to those who are easily captivated.

The @NFL played two different “National Anthems” tonight. Someone just sent me a photo of
@KariLake sitting during the first one.

Rambo? Interesting.

Don't let this gnat get under your skin.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Don't let this gnat get under your skin.

Been doing it for years

SCV doesn't need rescuing. He's a war hero.

You thank him for his service.

It just makes me sad.

That's ******** and you know it. Lots of them died for their buddy next to them. Black, white, Asian... it doesn't matter. To make it what you are making it is reprehensible.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Been doing it for years, dotard.

Lots of guys died to give you the privilege of being a childish dick. Again, you're welcome.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Lots of guys died to give you the privilege of being a childish dick. Again, you're welcome.

Yeah, in 1942.

Don't piggyback on the sacrifice of others. It's unbecoming.

You've triggered the child now. He'll be back to call us racists and old people.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Yeah, in 1942.

So that makes it irrelevant? Just when I thought you couldn't go lower you limbo under an ant turd.

 

[VolStrom]

Yeah, in 1942.

Don't piggyback on the sacrifice of others. It's unbecoming.

What happened 25 years after 1942?

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Yeah, in 1942.

Don't piggyback on the sacrifice of others. It's unbecoming.

I was willing to go get shot at for my country and even pansies like you cupcake. Have you ever been?

 

[DinkinFlicka]

So that makes it irrelevant? Just when I thought you couldn't go lower you limbo under an ant turd.

Hey, that would fit right in the meme thread!

You keep opening yourself up to it, dumbass.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

I was willing to go get shot at for my country and even pansies like you cupcake. Have you ever been?

Willing? Sure, you were.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

What happened 25 years after 1942?

Was our freedom at stake? Nope.

The Bitter Brothers have entered the chat.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Careful... your trigger is moving.

Bro, you're clearly rattled here because I'm not thanking you for "would have" bullsh*t.

Deal with it and move on. I don't owe you squat.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Was our freedom at stake? Nope.

You are some kind of special.
