Sigh, I guess pretty soon anthems will be a thing of the past

It's the only way the government wins this battle.

In before Trump tweets:

"We weren't even going to allow the Steelers to be on the field while the Anthem played"

There's the line...

And there's Shark crossing it.

Don't tell us how you really feel

When have I ever not crossed the line? That's my job on this board outside of providing a ridiculous amount of insight and intellect. I mean I'm a shark riding a bicycle for Christ sake. If you can't see the high amount of logic and theory in that, then there's no hope for you.

Mike Tomlin explains why Steelers will stay in locker room during national anthem

"You know, these are very divisive times for our country and for us as a football team it's about us remaining solid. We're not going to be divided by anything said by anyone. ... "[I told our players] if you feel the need to do anything I'm going to be supportive of that -- as Americans you have that right. But whatever we do we're going to do 100 percent, we're going to do together. We're not going to let divisive times or divisive individuals affect our agenda."

He gets butt-hurt an awful lot. Most thin-skinned president ever.

They'll replace it with rap artists.

The Pyongyang Rocketmen has a nice ring to it.

Villanueva came out for the Anthem. He's a decorated veteran.

Good for him.

SO what happened? Is racism now resolved? As a white person am I free to say the N word now? Did the Country just give like $500K to every black person!? Everything is fine now, right!? RIGHT!? I can go out and use nunchucks on some random black person and it's totally not going to be a hate crime, right!?

This bullshit aside, maybe the Steelers should've just stayed in the locker room, because they're currently in the process of getting their ass whooped by the Bears.

Yep. God forbid we have ANYTHING that brings us closer together in this mega time of divisiveness. The National Anthem was damn near the last thing we had where we could all stand together as Americans.

Nope, that apparently has to die too.

This thread has gotten ridiculous. @The Derski maybe belongs in the political forum with the 10 other ones?
