I'm a Baltimore Orioles fan. During the National Anthem our fan base will stress and yell out the O in O say, does that star spangled banner yet wave.
You guys think this is okay or disrespectful? My brother is an Air Force vet and doesn't like it. I don't have a problem with it. I've heard that Braves fan highlight the word Brave.
Did you ever have to take the flag down when you were in the military? I got to do it once definitely an honor. When I was young I never would’ve believed sports would turn so political. The Stars shout “stars” when they do the anthem
Yes I had flag detail more than a few times. It was either a solemn and serious event, or treated like a chore. Which depended entirely on which soldiers were present.
I did it during basic and thanked the sergeant, he seemed surprised I thanked him for the opportunity
Yea it’s a really great experience. Made me think about what the ideals of the country are and what it stands for.
