Singing this horrid song during the 7th inning stretch is what's un-American.
Yeah, don't they know you're supposed to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the 7th inning stretch? Did they learn nothing from Harry Caray???
Better yet, just ignore that boring, steroid laden game and watch football instead. That's truly American these days!

Probably, but it's still a more exciting game to watch. And my school won the national championship, so I have to keep cheering them on.

A number of years ago a buddy of mine who was a Jets fan ( I was a Giants fan, at the time) was whining about the latest Jet disaster. He made the comment that "the defense was on the field too long." Having played in high school I mentioned that "if the Jet defense was on the field too long so was the other team's offense. How come they didn't get tired? Maybe your boys are simply not in shape."
The discussion escalated to the point where I watched a football game with a stop watch and found that in the first quarter the ball was actually in play for exactly 2 minutes and 14 seconds, or, just under 9 minutes of "action" in the entire one-hour game. The rest of the time they were mainly standing around while the clock ticked down. On tv they cover the dead spots with replay after replay but when you actually go to a game there is a lot of standing around doing nothing. TV allots 3 hours to a football broadcast which means the other two hours are just one long beer commercial.
I don't follow football at all anymore. I hate being conned. At least in baseball the winners have to record 27 outs and score a run themselves.
If I want "action" I watch hockey.

The sad part is that it's impossible to put this in a narrow time frame, seeing as "the latest Jet disaster" could refer to any season between 1970 and yesterday.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
