TheProgressiveLiberal Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Watching the Steelers game right now. Alejandro Villanueva, the Iraq and Afghanistan veteran, came out of the locker room by himself for the anthem. Wonder what people are going to have to stay about that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Actually I understand the whole thing with the national anthem, oath of allegiance and saluting the flag stuff. America is a basically a nation of immigrants and there was a need to establish a common identity to avoid having ghettoes of various nationalities. So, for example, when somebody comes from Italy, they want them to be Italian American, or more precisely Italian AMERICAN as opposed to just an Italian living in America. Of course, this means you see the Stars and Stripes everywhere - including virtually all uniforms (maybe I am exaggerating but it seemed like that to me). It also means the national anthem at virtually any sporting event. Domestic league fixtures - that is only the start. School team fixtures as well! Don't try buying anything in any of the shops at the time - not going to happen. The shop assistants are all standing to attention with their hand on their heart. You could probably run out the shop without paying and half of them wouldn't know what to do. Maybe they would sing the remaining words at double time and then chase after you. Not that I have done this - I am just saying. What do you if you're taking a shit during the national anthem? Stand to attention? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 American fleg worship is one of their stranger traits No surprise at all that Donald conflates himself with America as a concept and takes this stuff personally. Even less of a surprise that dog whistle morons like Swampy lap it all up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 A sorting league which has a team with the frankly disgusting name of the 'Redskins' is now more left-wing than Trump. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 A sorting league which has a team with the frankly disgusting name of the 'Redskins' is now more left-wing than Trump. The first amendment protects the name. As it should.Is the Asian band name The Slants and the name New York Yankees also disgusting? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a goner if there’s any truth to this. Although in saying that, gross hypocrisy and contradictory statements haven’t stuck to the Wotsitman yet. ETA anyone who has used the “but, buts, but emails... jail her” line has to say exactly the same here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
