Probably not too many.
The Star Spangled Banner did not become the national anthem until 1931.
I love watching you idiots make fools of yourselves. You are so good at it.

They did. They screwed up by not clearly prohibiting protests during the national anthem and then taking punitive measures against the players who defied the prohibition.
The courts may say they can't force them to participate, but they can prohibit them from any ostentatious displays during the playing of the anthem. They should have issued a blanket order throughout the league and enforced it without exception.

How many slaves and indentured servants were made millionaires along with their owners?
Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

I know it makes for good feelings to have pats on the back, but if you read his post, he didn't say anything about the Star Spangled Banner being the song he was referring to. He simply asked how many slaves and indentured servants sang along with their owners. Now, if you want to make the argument that since the topic was the National Anthem and you think he "implied" that the song in his response was in regards to the Star Spangled Banner, then you are opening up another can of worms in debate to include being able to process comments based upon what people are thinking. That will be a game changer if that is the route you want to go...

You know exactly what he meant. Nice try at running interference for him, but it failed.

Oh no, that excuse "you know exactly what he meant" is a non-starter, as we have been down this road before, haven't we? I run interference for no-one, I call it like I see it.
