Re: MNF: Star Spangled Banner

OK, she didn't exactly pull off a stellar performance, but to boo her is just uncalled for. First off she was "trying" to sing the National Anthem. Secondly, she was a hispanic singing during Hispanic Heritage month (or whatever it's called). We all talk about how disrepsectfull it was for her to "chop" up the Anthem like that, but it is also disrespectfull to boo right afterwards, regardless of the performance. I am sure that most of us understand that she was the one getting boo'd and not the Anthem or Hispanics themselves, but not everyone knows that. Some people could have taken the boos the wrong way. At first, I did.

To get to the point, 2 wrongs do not make a right. If you want to disapprove while still showing respect after a bad Anthem performance, just stand there in complete silence. The point will be taken.

Reasoning: Naturally, right after an Anthem performance the crowd cheers. A boo is the complete opposite it sounds as if you totally disagree with the song, the performance, and everything about it. Silence says, "I disaprove of the performance, but I am still going to show repect for my Anthem."

Alright I'm done nit picking. I am bracing myself for those who disagree, but I am sure that none of those who do have a military background either.
