Mar 16, 2014, 1:17 PM

National anthem with their self absorbed chants about their school/other interests during the middle of the song?

UVA yelling Hoos in place of whose
NCSU yelling Wolfpack instead of Brave
Maryland yelling O for the Orioles
Some school yells RED during the song, maybe State?

I'm sure there are others. Is Clemson the only school in the ACC who respects the anthem?

Stand up, put your right hand over your heart (take ur hat off, if applicable) or salute the flag, sing if you want, but stop with all the other crap.

That is all. GO TIGERS!

And let's be honest, we're only using military might as a measure of a good country because we happen to actually be #1 in that category. #### the health and well-being of our citizens, we can just destroy other countries until we are the de facto #1!

It's disrespectful to wear a hat during the playing of the national anthem because we have decided it is. If you know that, and decide that you can't be bothered to do something as simple as remove your hat during our national anthem, then you ARE being disrespectful.

Since the hat rule is so important to you, then provide the history and reasoning behind it. That's all I'm pointing out about the hat rule. Give a logical explanation.

Re: Those have solid explanations, the hat rule doesn't….

I think with the hat argument, you could start with the premise that hats were conceived solely for the purpose of protecting the head from weather and the eyes from sunlight. Seeing as how, by definition, those things don't exist indoors, it makes sense to question the legitamacy of donning a hat inside.

I'm not a fan or arbitrary rules myself, but just because our generation ARBITRARILY decided that wearing hats indoors is stylish, okay, cool whatever, doesn't mean it's a necessarily more practical position. I mean, we're talking about a generation who has their parents call the boss after they have a job interview.

(The USC is comprised of 50 separate "titles". Each title deals expressly with a particular area of federal law.)

USC 36 Chapter 10 Index

§ 170. National anthem; Star-Spangled Banner

The composition consisting of the words and music known as The Star-Spangled Banner is designated the national anthem of the United States of America.

§ 171. Conduct during playing

During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed there.

It's originally from Knights removing their facegear


Mar 16, 2014, 1:53 PM [ in reply to Who came up with the hat rule, and what were their reasons.. ]

so that superiors could see their faces. This was modified to removing any headgear that would cover any part of their identity.

The whole right hand act was due to most people being right handed. They'd take their right hand and "clap" it to their helmets as officers/superiors would pass. This was to show that they had no weapon -- kind of like a display of submission.

Bottom line, though: You do it because it is a way to show respect in our culture. Whether or not it has an intended purpose beyond a display of respect, it still is a way to show respect. Why is clapping your hands a show of approval? Why is giving the thumbs up a show of approval? Why do you get up out of your seat when you are meeting someone new or see someone enter into your presence? Why

It's all about what our culture knows as respect. Every culture has different things that they do to show feels.

The only one of those that is remotely disrespectful


Mar 16, 2014, 3:26 PM

is NCSU literally changing the word of "brave"

"Hoos" still sounds like "Whose", so it's not disrespectful.

"O" & "Red" are the same word completely, so again, not disrespectful at all.


Not sure why anyone would think it is disrespectful...and who are you disrespecting?

How about this compromise...

We all remove our pants as a show of respect during the national anthem. A fresh start we can all be solumn about. Seems people are tired of the hat thing.

agree with you on this one

I serve in the Army and my older brother and cousin both serve in the Air Force. Nothing grates our nerves more than being at an event where the National Anthem is being played and it is being disrespected (i.e. - changing lyrics, people talking during it, etc.)

NCSU, the others just sing along with it and shout one special word to them. It isn't disrespectful.

"America the Beautiful" would make a much better anthem ...

"The Star-Spangled Banner" is a hard song to sing, is not that great of a melody, and its lyrics are bellicose ...
