I Just saw a news ######
Feb 10, 2021, 11:33 AM

On tv that stated that the Dallas Mavericks are no longer going to play the national anthem at games. When does this madness end? The players are allowed to disrespect the country and now this. If you aren’t satisfied with the equality in America, this is the wrong way to express your feelings. Imo

I assume you were one of the people storming the capital January 6th, so perhaps spare us the faux jingoistic patriotism.

I assure you that I would be be the LAST person on earth to “storm” the nations capital. There is nothing wrong with being a patriot however.

Ah yes, the long lost 14th commandment and 35th amendment
Though shall play the National Anthem before every sporting event.
Literally how does this impact you anyone on a day to day? How many of you go to the bathroom or get snacks when the anthem was played at the SB? It is just needless and not anti-American sentiment. I would in fact say it is supporting freedom of speech. That's what y'all care about right?

So when you do it it's disgust but if a "snowflake" states something similar then they're "offended".
Just want to make sure I understand the mental gymnastics you're going through so as no one classifies you as a snowflake

So what you’re saying is you’re OK with something that shows pride in our country and that has been a tradition for probably over 100 years if not longer but because a few people get offended then we should just tear the country down or throw everything out that’s traditional because no one should ever be offended?
People like you have no clue what’s going on in this country. You think it’s just a bunch of conservatives complaining. It’s not. There are dozens of progressive academics and thought leaders black white female that have been experiencing this for years before it started getting into the main stream they know how dangerous this is they know where it leads. These are not isolated incidents. The stuff is happening because people that hate this country that want to destroy this country or instigating this. Now I know you wanna poo poo that and think I’m just a nut job and it’s a conspiracy theory, no it’s not.
Did you see the article in Time magazine about the nationwide conspiracy to beat Trump? Including BLM. A lot of those riots for the past year were intentional to make Trump look bad.
Talk to people that come to America from other countries. Talk to people from America that have lived abroad for years and have traveled all around the world. They will tell you America is a special place and it is the greatest country in the world and it is one of the least racist country on the planet. They will tell you all the stuff that’s going on is nonsense! And these are people that have been to and lived in socialist and communist countries. They know that that is not what you want America to become!
Trust me there are plenty of academics and progressives that are scared right now by what’s going on in this country. Jonathan Haidt wrote a book the coddling of the American mind. He has lived around the world and taught at numerous top universities in America. He said professors are scared to death right now. Professors used to teach to what was called the reasonable standard. That anything they discussed was OK as long as it was considered reasonable by the average reasonable person. He said now if you are a professor you have to teach to the most sensitive standard. Meaning you have to think about what would be the most sensitive person and what would offend them, but the problem is those kind of people are offended by anything and everything. Colleges around the country have signs up on campus in restrooms telling students to rat their professors out anonymously if they think they’ve said anything that’s racist or offensive. Do you know how freaking dangerous that is? Do you know how it’s impossible to teach under those conditions?
BLM is not about racism. America is not racist. And antifa is a bunch of communist who want to tear this country apart! You do understand they’re still protesting and rioting in Portland. They’re in Portland carrying banners with communist symbols and automatic weapons that are now saying screw Biden!
Trump was just the excuse by many of these people to gain support from different directions. But now they’re showing their true colors, which many of us knew long ago who they were and what they were about!
Do you think men should be competing against women in athletics? Do you honestly think having surgery makes you a woman and should allow you to compete against girls in high school or girls in college? That’s what these people think also. And if you don’t believe that then it’s because you are a Nazi. And I am not exaggerating in the slightest.

I think you missed a few bits here about Benghazi, Hilary Clinton's email server, Lasers causing wild fires and false flag school shootings.
Yes, America is really going down the toilet...what's someone to do? Guess I'll drive my $50K pickup truck with a "I don't give a F*** about your feelings" bumper sticker, on my $2 a gallon gas, and rant about america going downhill while entering a wal-mart with nearly everything you could every want to buy.
Yes, your life is super repressed. I don't know how you get by day to day.

Bet your life is tough, too. He is not the one in the camp that wants to "reinvent" the country. All of the lifestyle items that you list are the result of a thriving capitalist society. And, speaking of avoiding useless wastes of time (as you describe the anthem)to "encourage free speech", another way to encourage free speech would be by avoiding censorship of people that disagree with you, leaving the statues alone, and allowing the publishing of books that offer differing opinions. You have the right to spew your sanctimonious BS as a result of the sacrifice of others. The anthem is one way we acknowledge and respect that. If one is offended by that (due to creating their own offensive meaning of it), so be it. People are "offended" every day. Some want to extinguish everything that "offends" them. Others understand that part of life is being offended, and they move on with their lives instead of making it their life's mission to find things that offend them and complain about it. Sorry for the rant.

Isn't it funny how...
Feb 10, 2021, 5:30 PM

the libtards frequently referred to POTUS DT as "Hitler" yet they are the ones who;
a) censored free speech
b) used the media to silence political opposition
c) threatened to take peoples guns
d) threatened to put people who disagree with them into "reeducation camps".
e) advocate for the murder of unborn children
Hitler indeed !!!
Those clowns really need to take a long hard look in the mirror.

who aren't happy unless they're b!tching, moaning, whining and/or complaining about something.
I can assure you, I am not one of them.
Unlike some among us, I am not easily offended. A wise person once told me, if you get your feeling hurt, it's your own fault. Don't try to blame it on something or someone else.

Ummm ok though I may see you at the Clemson game ....
And I can't decide if you'll be celibate if I left or if you'll celebrate. My take though is you probably will celebrate but you don't have much choice on you being be celibate as that's already happening

Yeah you gotta love people that ##### and gripe about every little thing in America but are perfectly OK with real racism and real slavery and real genocide in China. And these are people that are multimillionaires. People that want socialism and communism in America. The shocking lack of common sense and self-awareness by these athletes and by the Democrats and by the mainstream media is truly mind-numbing.
They think they’re better and superior yet they are blinded by greed and lust for power.

I am old school and admit it, I value the playing of the National Anthem before sporting events. And as I have said before about many other topics, if it offends you stop watching or attending games. Because money talks and all else walks.

Actually, I don’t think it has been played
Feb 10, 2021, 1:06 PM
|

at any of their home games so far this season. So, it’s not something that has just happened...or not happened as it may be. I think people just noticed recently.
Not sure of the motivations, but I’m not put out by it. I’ve often wondered why we play the Anthem at every sporting event from grade school to the pros.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Anthem and feel a sense of pride when it is played...but I’ve always thought it should be reserved for special/notable occasions/events. Maybe mix things up and play America the Beautiful or something similar from time to time if everyone still wants to give the band/singers something to do.

DoD stopped the practice in 2015. Majority of it was marketing allowing them to recruit at the ballparks via videos and booths. Only one mention of the Anthem being part of the arrangement was where a military unit played it on field. Most was tribute stuff with injured soldiers meeting players and getting signed jerseys etc.

I didn’t realize it was a rule that they had to play any particular songs before each game...strange.
They probably just don’t want the drama. I don’t really blame them for that.
