The national anthem has its place in important events and deserves respect in order to honor our history and the people who have served our country. But it is misplaced in sporting events. The NFL especially has turned it into full out comedy with their "paid patriotism" where they have sickenly commercialized it for their own gain. Just terrible. it's not at "everything" so there ya go. You lost that argument Now - about the corps... Very excited Cadets are over 90!!! Yeah :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let them go to the political forums to fight. Back to drum corps. Still shocked that Bluecoats do not seem to be cleaning. Grrrrr. :( Let's go Blooo. Clean that puppy. They looked clean to me. Sometimes things are rewarded. It happens. Seen it many times. The group think in DCI judging is alarming! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just terrible. I'm all for changing our national anthem to America the Beautiful. But regardless of what our national anthem is, I will always stand in respect for the country I get to live in, largely because I am aware of the fact that there are likely thousands standing near me who lost loved ones, and/or various body parts, defending the freedom I enjoy. It has absolutely nothing to do with the song. Edited August 4, 2017 by MikeRapp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
