Major League Soccer announced that the anthem would not be played before games when its season resumed in July following the coronavirus lockdown. A petition posted on Change.org advocated dropping the song as the national anthem, pointing to “elitist, sexist, and racist” verses in Key’s poem, “Defence of Fort M’Henry,” from which “The Star-Spangled Banner” was adapted.
Here's the Op Ed.

Well they better check what bills they have in their bill folds! They better get rid of them. Why doesn't our govt. step up & tell them just don't have soccer games. Can't believe that we're bowing down to these racist blacks! I'm not saying that all black people are bad, some of my very best friends are black. Just can't believe our govt. is so wishy washy or maybe it's our legal system. We'll be communist America in 3 yrs. & our legal system is bowing down to this.
