This will just be a quick little rant. Tonight I attended my first Texas State home football game. We played the #6 ranked team in the nation, U of H, so you can assume how that went. Regardless, before the game started, they had a little show at the beginning where the band plays Texas themed songs and whatnot. The announcer then says, "all rise for our national anthem," and every decent human being in that stadium, which was sold out, rose. However, there was one section where everyone wore all black and sat during the anthem.
I do not care what you are protesting; I do not care what your beliefs are. If your country's national anthem is playing, you stand the hell up. Sitting during the playing of it such a blatant action of disrespect. This does not prove a point, it makes the "protesters" look foolish; like raising the middle finger to all of the men and women who have died for this great country we live in. These are also typically the same people who "hate police" yet need them when there's an emergency. (That story will be for another time) My personal opinion is that, if you don't want to stand and respect our anthem, don't go to games. And, if your name is Colin Kaepernick and/or any other player who decides to do this, don't play in the game. You want to make a stand so bad, show us all and don't play. The game must go on. Until next time,
