Since when is "God Bless America" a stand up and remove your hat song?

[Saulbadguy]

I was at the Royals game on Sunday, and before the singing of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame", someone sang "God Bless America".

I was already standing, so I sang along, but I heard some dumbass hayseed yell "TAKE OFF YERRRR HAT" to another fan.

At what point did this become a "tradition", like the singing of "take me out" at Major League Baseball games?

The freedoms in Canada and Britain are very much due to their alliance with the U.S. and their similar beliefs.

And yes, you have the freedom to be who you are, for now, due to the sacrifices of the service people that have stood up for those rights.

I was just in the Hines VA hospital this week, and the sign in the entry says:
"The price of freedom is on display here."


But go ahead, fire up that X Box and be somebody.

Spot the **** on....

Just reading the thread title got me riled up.

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag."

Burning an American flag gives me a RAGING boner.

You only need to watch one episode of House Hunters International to know that living almost anywhere else in the world is better than living in America.

Grandpa taught Bob Dole you should always take your hat off in a building.

Bob Dole's dad should explain that to all the baseball players who wear baseball hats on the field, even inside the domes!

What's wrong with the thread title? If I write a shitty song about how amazing America is, do people have to respect it? God Bless America is not the national anthem. I don't mind people taking their hats off, but bullying people to, or even expecting them to, is silly to me. It's just some song. It's also religious, which some people aren't.

What about all those old timey pictures of men wearing suits and hats while watching games. I don't think ballparks count as "inside".
