They'll replace it with rap artists.
Considering what I have heard some singers do to the anthem, rapping it would probably not even make it into my top five worst.

Although, now that you mention it, I kinda want to hear it.

Seahawks and titans all stayed in lockerroom during anthem as well. The lady singing the anthem and the dude with the guitar next to her took a knee at the end of singing it just like we saw in other stadiums.

As much as everyone was tired of talking about these pregame distractions, they are for sure sticking around for a while now with trumps BS.

And honestly, all teams not coming out until after the anthem again like it used to be is really the only way to make this end. It's really not going away without that.

So sick of Anthem talk. I stand proudly. I don't give a fuck what other people do.

BWHAHAHA, and they lose to the Bears. Way to go Pittsburgh. Next time just stay in the locker room. Hilarious outcome.

I agree. There really isn't any point to it. It's a football game, shouldn't have anything to do with politics or the flag or the Anthem.

However, I know why these sports leagues do this. It's because they want to play up the whole patriotism angle: "look how AMERICAN we are!!! Buy our products!"

Just stop having it. Many of us won't care.

I think it's the smart move. You can't be seen protesting the anthem if you aren't on the field for the anthem. Simple but brilliant

very true. Though the league can suspend you for not being on the field possibly

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.
Looks like Seattle should've stayed in theirs, too.

No argument there. Titans didn't look much better on their own home field. Seems like all these teams protesting and players acting like complete douche nozzles are getting what's coming.
