With all the hoopla over NOT standing for the national anthem by US Pro football players, I have to ask...why is this archaic tradition still around?
The national anthem in pro sports has the same place as the Lords Prayer has in a public School.
IT DOESNT.
Pro athletes play for money. And leagues are country oriented with the NHL being the exception. The Toronto Raptures don't count as a major sports team. They play for and represent their respective cities.
The ONLY times the national anthem should be played for a sporting event is when one IS representing their country like at the Olympics and similar events.
Personally...I refuse to sing the national anthem. I don't worship my country. Not even close. And to sing the national anthem goes against what God has said...You must place no gods above me.
And in fact, some religions consider it a sin of great magnitude to sing the nation anthem.
