Realy?

You think the Confederacy started the civil war to disrespect America???? I think someone might need to brush up on their 3rd grade history.

That being said, I'm a "Yankee", I do not approve of what the Confederacy stood for, nor what they did. But unfortunately, it IS OUR HISTORY, and we should not try to erase it, unless you support mass book burnings. Oceania was pretty good at rewriting history.

Why not? Do you have to have a reason, a specific reason to enjoy the National Anthem? Do you have to have a specific reason to show patriotism? Maybe some on here are just not as proud of this country as some of us. Like someone once said (something like...) "For those that fight for it, Freedom (or Liberty, or Life) has flavor that the protected will never know." And I would add, "..or appreciate."
Is the question really, why is showing our appreciation or patriotism "needed?" If one does not know the answer, ...........

You must be referring to games on TV. They rarely show the national anthems on TV because of the pre-game commentary...
All professional sporting events I've ever attended live play the national anthem, and I've never heard of a professional sporting event that didn't.

Have you????

I'm a woman, married to a man, who is my husband. Who - did not take a knee when he proposed, nor would I have expected him to.

Too bad for the babies that don’t like it!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Your point isn't clear. Do you mean the babies that don't like seeing it on TV or the babies who complain about not seeing it on TV?

The viewing was at an all time low during and that crap, so they started with players had to stay in the lockers during the anthem, to not broadcasting the anthem to get viewers back.
It is beyond sad
I quit watching football after Kaperdick took a knee! Protest on your OWN TIME! It has nothing to do with freedom of speech. What if you own a restaurant & your waiter is vegan? Is it ok for him to take a knee when someone orders a steak???
