MedzXVIII 05/27/18 12:03:57 AM #1:	We got caught (off-guard). Both the teams turned to face the field and they all started singing the national anthem. They started to play some music, and the people took that as the national anthem and they all started singing, which I think is obviously a wonderful thing to show off their patriotism. We try to follow with what normally gets done. Its all a learning experience for everyone and (going forward) were playing the national anthem at every game https://sports.yahoo.com/crowd-boos-theres-no-national-anthem-softball-game-stands-sing-cappella-version-225131766.html --- Hi <cite>MedzXVIII posted [p:902047699] in Crowd boos...

I understand calling the crowd "babies" for complaining about not having their anthem. But the teams singing it on their own are babies too? Isn't providing for yourself what you want the opposite of "baby"? The baby part comes in for the fact that they took it as some sort of offense. Like the fact that the anthem isnt played before a random sporting event is a terrible thing that they need to voice. Weve been conditioned o expect before sports for some reason and I still dont understand why. Not before movies or a concert. Its not expected at any other entertainment event. But its not sung before a local sports event and people lose their minds.. At the start of my highschool graduation a fellow classmate sang it. I thought that was nice. And thats fine. Never said there is something wrong with singing it. Its the anger and visceral response to it not being performed thats my issue. It doesnt mean they hate America. It doesnt make you less American if it dont hear it before a baseball game. There is no need to have so much contempt over it not being performed. There is no reason to tell people they arent real Americans if they dont perform the song. That happens and it seems stupid to me. I agree. I also believe it is nice when it is perform before the start of an event. --- Hi <cite>MedzXVIII posted [p:902072549] in Crowd boos...

Blind patriotism is so weird. It's a useful tool for driving public opinion away from any dirty business going around, keep the public dumb and obedient, make them turn on each other if one dares not join in the mindless patriotism.
