Other Sports The Star Spangled Banner - Page 7

At every sporting event held in America, the Star Spangled Banner is sung. The bigger the event, the bigger the star to sing the National Athem, and the bigger the hack job. These stars have made a habit of destroying the patriotic song by changing how the song is supposed to be sung. During some events, the players are standing around with the look of "WTF" on their faces because the song is so bad. The song should be sung with pride, dignity, and respect. The artists seem to think that the one song that they get to sing in front of a crowd should be rewritten to fit their style instead of them singing the song as it was meant.

The SuperBowl is Sunday and I am already dreading listening to the National Athem because some ovepriced hack job wants to sing like a fool.

And the ACLU hasn't raised holy hell over that?

lol, this area is a republican stronghold in missouri. Some great school systems out in the counties.

Made my heart swell with a pride when i asked the boy whos 5 if he knew it. He proceded to recite the pledge by heart.

During the singing of the national anthem before the game last night I thought about what it would be like if the Chiefs were playing. Do you think a significant portion of the crowd will yell "Chiefs" at the end like they do at Arrowhead? How much controversy do you think that would stir up around the country the next couple of days?
