Hopefully this is ends the practice of playing the national anthem at every sporting event -- which should be reserved for international sporting events.
The whole thing started with MLB during WW2 because some players (like Ted Williams) left baseball to fight in the war. These military industrial complex spun wars are never-ending and the point of the anthem has lost it's significance having been propagandized.
I'm extremely patriotic, but at this point it's just pragmatic to stop the national anthem before games if it's gonna be such a divisive issue. Post 9- 11 nationalism was nice while it lasted lol
