In fact, I think the playing of the national anthem before sporting events is a meaningless, nationalistic and tired tradition that should be abandoned immediately. That goes for 'God Bless America' in the ballparks that still play it during the seventh inning stretch.
Yup. Patriotism is easy when it's two minutes at the head of a ball-game, a bit rougher when it's your ass on the line ... and we ain't talkin' line of scrimmage.
