Just something to think about as we watch football. We're lucky.

Ya know, as I was watching the SB, with 100K+ in attendance my mind kept going back to the Egyptian protests. Imagine, we can have 100,000 show up for a SB game, with no political backlash, and general peace, and at the same time another 100K+ are protesting for their livelihood. I know there is a different thread about it, but really, we are lucky.

So it went from being spontaneous to special occasions to everyday at every event? It's usage has been cheapened to serve the needs of owners to elicit emotional reaction of the crowd. Great.

Seriously? This is an issue for you?

I really cannot recall any big emotional reaction from crowds when hearing the NA.

I understand how some are upset she messed up, but she didn't purposely mess up. This kind of stuff happens all the time. That doesn't mean she hates this country and what the NA represents.

If you want to hate on her for other reasons(music, personal life, etc.) go ahead, but people need to take a step back and direct their negative energy towards another direction.

I am saying it has been commercialized and therefore cheapened. Do you disagree with this take? Is saying so an issue for you?

I don't see the commercialized aspect, after all, it happens at nearly every sport from little league to pro, and nearly every country. Yeah the SB tries to put national names up there, and pretty much fail each time, but the simple act of singing a country's national anthem before a sporting event isn't cheapening it.

No, you have every right to say the silliest things. :cheeky-sm

Associating the national anthem with the SuperBowl, commercializes it. Anything that is commercialized is cheapened to an extent, IMO. It becomes commonplace and over hyped for the wrong reasons.

Keep at it, you will get there eventually and get my rational. Or you could just read SS33's post and the reason why everyone does it now...in doing so you just might realize everything I have said is far from "silliest things."
