    The Star Spangled Banner was recognized as the national anthem in 1931. I believe it was around WWI that Americans finally started to see themselves as Americans rather than citizens of their state. Although the process was slow. Adopting the national anthem probably was meant to finalize that process.

    Note: I agree the US does not fit the legal definition of nation. But it never was intended to.

    And you know that mass murder is always on the left. Hell just like Biden they don't have one idea that will actually work to solve a problem. We can only hope that all of the liberals that have promised to move or kill themselves if Trump is elected Keep their promise this time, the world will be a better place without them.
    Maybe they will call it governor assisted suicide.

    You know that I respect you, and much like the National Monuments, Bird and Flag, to me they are symbols of our past, both the good and the bad. And they are something that makes me think of everyone that sacrificed to make this country free. I guess that it means something different to everyone.

    But I like them. and like even more that you don't have to like them and we can still live together in peace. at least until these left wing nut jobs started acting up.

    We get it. Don't watch!!! You all sound like some little kid threatening to run away from home. Fine! Go ahead. We don't give a damn. No one does. There will be more fans. You are irrelevant.
    I don't watch. I've never watched. Games such as football are a throwback to the gladiator days where they would force the strongest slaves to fight to the death for the sport and amusement of the wealthy class. Sure, they overpay the players today, but it's still a disgusting throwback.
    Hey, I have an idea, STOP PLAYING THE ANTHEM! It is now meaningless anyway. Trumpers have destroyed the nation. I'd wipe my ass with the flag for all it matters to me now... because of people like you.
    I love the anthem. And, except for that 13% of Americans who think it's okay to disrespect it--they're also the ones causing problems in our country right now--the rest of us love our nation, too.

    If you don't like our nation, you can always leave. All this fake racism is caused by you, not by people who love our country. Take responsibility for once.
    But you do support the man whose admitted lies have killed over 100,000 Americans, right? THAT you're fine with, right?
    See. Right there. Stuff like that. You can't tell the truth no matter what.

    The US is a country comprised of several nations. That's a hair splitting point.
