Wrong way
Posted on July 22nd, 2004 by uruloki
Look, it fine if people think that the war in Iraq is wrong. But, not participating in the National Anthem and “God Bless America” is just asinine. You can not believe in what your country is doing, but you still show your love for the country by respecting its flag and asking God’s blessing on it.
Fervently anti-war, Carlos Delgado quietly carried out his personal protest this season, refusing to stand when “God Bless America” was played at ballparks across the majors.…
NBA guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf of the Denver Nuggets (news) would not stand for the national anthem during the 1995-96 season, which led to an indefinite suspension that was lifted two days later.
Division III basketball player Toni Smith of the Manhattanville women’s team attracted attention for refusing to face the flag during the national anthem in the 2002-03 season.
These three need to go somewhere else.
