Poll of the Day > For users in other countries, do you play the anthem before games?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just wondering. Ive been to other countries but never sporting events and didnt know if that was a thing over there too.

*laugh* no, only the USA is so terrified that they play the anthem and all that for everything. There's very few places with this level of silly flag waving, mostly places where you get shot if you don't wave the flag.

I think so. I don't watch sports games. They're a waste of my time.

Nah U.S.A. anthem is a banger which is pretty rare in the national anthem category so other countries get kinda self conscious. Its kinda like a if you got it flaunt it type deal.

Do other countries have flags everywhere? I heard they mostly don't. It's insane here. Having them outside of a government building, maybe even a school, sure. But those buildings also have them in like every classroom/office. A ton of random places like grocery and hardware stores too... I don't get it.

I don't really think about it much but if you leave your house even just for like a 20 minute errand you're guaranteed to see at least a dozen flags every time

Ill fly the flag, because I love flags! I have a rainbow flag and a U.S. flag on my pickup that I take down when I drive it somewhere. (Theyre kinda big.)

I don't no. However if we have the Wold Cup in Football plenty jump on the bandwagon. Even those who don't like Football.

Well I guess the NBA has spoken also it doesnt matter now.

gotta play our magic song before the game can start
