Seriously? I was just reading how people will never watch football again over the Seahawks thing.
Like seriously? That shit does not affect you in any way.
It's just a song. It's just a flag. Jesus I can't believe life sometimes.

yea these unwritten rules of anthem etiquette are really getting old...Do these people stand up in their living room every time its played during a game? No? So then the only reason you do it is to show off in public? People care WAY too much about this shit....

People do stupid things in the stadium during the anthem. They drink, talk, fight, order hotdogs.
I never new the symbolism was this bad at all. I think this getting worse than religious idolatry now.

Humans are stupid when it comes to respect. Sometimes we get it right, like holding the door open for the person right behind us. In that case there's an actual benefit to it.

But usually it's literally just, "Perform this arbitrary action which does nothing or you're an asshole."

Marshawn Lynch sat for the Anthem on Saturday and people overreacted to it. It brought attention to Michael Bennett of the Seahawks doing the same for personal reasons and now people are throwing a fit about it again. i just don't get why its such a big deal...i read a headline yesterday.."Marshawn Lynch speaks with media...does not address sitting during the Anthem"...WHO GIVES A SHIT...why does he need to address that?

A couple members of the Seattle Seahawks, an NFL team, are kneeling during the national anthem rather than standing to protest ongoing racial injustice in the country.

Complete non-issue.

Thanks anyway. I'm going to go back to not giving a damn about this now.
