    As a kid I was told which water fountain I had to use. Don't you dare tell me which national anthem I stand for. It's a beautiful hymn, but the racist notion of saying "here you have this anthem" is unacceptable. I'm a proud American, proud of my history and proud of that flag.

        Thank you for your service. Whether we agree with them or not, I'm incredibly thankful for those who sacrificed to make protest possible.

        This is the most amazing part of Trump's Republican party. They have melded together patriotism with their religion, and the combination is lethal. So the anthem becomes more important than the people, and all God's children said: Amen.

        Good, nobody said he didn't have to stand. But the right to not stand needs to be respected as well.

        How on earth did segregation become desirable by any political side in 2020? Seriously, anyone, tell me. I don't get the joke.

        Missing the point that it’s very American, no, profoundly American, to have the freedom to protest the anthem. Ted knows that. He just wants to pander to the MAGA crowd in a futile attempt to be in line to be president. (Hint Ted: they’re never going to like you.)
