Is it just me?
Maybe because I was raised in a military family, but it drives me crazy to see most of the people in the crowd didn't have the respect to remove their hats during the Anthem.

This will ALWAYS be a side show to mainstream 'Merica
And I take my hat off during the anthem out of respect for our military personnel. . . Those guys are risking their life for our freedom so the least I can do to show them some respect is remove the lid.
If you want to read a good book, read Chris Kyle's "American Sniper". . . you'll learn that taking your hat off means something to our soldiers and leaving it on is a big eff you in their eyes.
But the douchebags with the hats on need to learn a little respect for their country
what exactly are you accomplishing by taking your hat off besides just abiding to something thats been engrained in your head as the defacto way of showing respect?
I mean honestly you can not shut the you know what up for two minutes during the National Anthem? Seriously......
Friday night at the Endurocross it was an instrumental rendition with a guy blowing a killer saxophone.....I liked it!
What exactly are you accomplishing by not taking your hat off for a 2 minute tribute to our Country?
Is that your defacto way of being an asshole? Is it really that traumatic for you? Or how about if you don't agree with removing your hat, just shut the fuck up and have respect for other people.
But with the laws, That have been forced through, the lobbyist in wall street, paid politicians passing draconian laws. I no longer stand or remove my hat.
This is no longer the home of the free and brave. Its the home of the rich and the slave.
so to you i respect you, and hold you in respect.
The national anthem can go fuck its self until, this country realizes what its doing to its people who live here.
Pit Row
the America I served and the freedom it stands for is; one that ensures everyone can live HOWEVER they want. so that they can be free to fart and laugh during a pledge or an anthem if they want...
that is what freedom is, not a bunch of people doing things like society or culture or whatever, attempts to pressure them to do.
hope i didn't miss the point of what freedom is supposed to be.
BTW I thought that she did a great job singing the National Anthem.
I'll take my hat off and stand every time the anthem is played.
I don't care if you do or don't remove a hat, it's a fucking hat for christs sake. If you really want to show respect why don't we just get on one knee and take a bow instead? That shows more respect than taking off a piece of fucking headgear.
I'm not an asshole either, I simply asked him to tell us why it's so important as I have no desire to read a book about a sniper...
