I’m as patriotic (personally) as they come, but I think this is a dumb discussion overall. I’m still IN the military and I think the forced connection that athletic events have with the Anthem (which isn’t specific to the military) and also the military (in form of various flyovers, recognitions, stand-and-claps) is awkward.
When these things become bigger conversations than the game itself, then they are misplaced.
I get that playing the Anthem at sporting events started during wartime to boost patriotism during tough times and that the military recognitions boost recruiting, but now that they are politicized flash points are they really value added?
