No anthem and let usa olympic winners pick whatever song they want playing when they get their medal.

There was one country's anthem at the olympics that I really liked but I can't remember it now. :frown: I do think Canada has a good one though.

Any suggestions?

Easier to sing, more modern, could have more interesting interpretations at sporting events, doesn't have a verse about how important slavery is.

Which song has a verse about slavery?

You can decide for yourself whether there’s some connection between what happened 200 years ago and what Colin Kaepernick is angry about today. Maybe it’s all ancient, meaningless history. Or maybe it’s not, and Kaepernick is right, and we really need a new national anthem.

Ray Charles version of 'America the Beautiful' would be a massive improvement.

why does this matter?

All of this outrage is because of some guy saw a head at the bottom of a wide shot photo. He blew the photo up RTed it and started the outrage machine. What basic people don't understand is that by churning the outrage machine they are giving him a platform to draw attention to what he's doing.

Also I'd be willing to bet that 95% of the people mad about this fake issue are total hypocrites, including people itt. I guarantee you that if I walked in the parking lot during the K-State pre-game while the POWL are doing the ceremony of allegiance with a sign that says "I won't stand for the anthem either," I'd have people pissed off, completely unaware that they're picking having one more natty light and a ranch dressing sandwich over "honoring the country and the men fighting for it."

yea, but why does it matter?

i'd like one of those badass anthems that's all about fertilizing our crops with the blood of foreign invaders and the chiefs bodies of our native sons fallen in battle and the like.

The French have the best one, but we inspired their revolution so that is a small comfort.

Technically the Anglo-American War of 1776 was a treasonous secessionist revolt against a central government comprised of largely unelected individuals seeking to oppress religious and other civil liberties. So, we should probably forfeit our sovereignty back to England and acknowledge how unreasonable our ancestors behavior was before we are overcome with guilt.

we're pretty indoctrinated with the idea that our revolution was a good war, but really it has little to recommend it other than being fought early enough in history that not that many people died.

i think the third verse of the SSB was talking about impressment when it mentioned hirelings and slaves. i could be wrong but i don't think i am. black slaves in the south were low on the list of thoughts at hand.

I mean, I always stand and take my hat off. Veterans like my father in law take it super seriously. He's a good man who fought in Vietnam. If its important to him then that's enough reason for me

My dad is a Vietnam Vet, drafted at 18 years old, now he's a retired drill sergeant. He's happy that Kaep is actually taking a stand, muddled as it may seem, and not just cashing checks.

Yeah, he's really helping out a lot of people by sitting out the anthem.  Good for him making a sacrifice for the greater good.

the finns stay seated for their nation anthem then jump to attention at the conclusion. that's what we should do, every american pounds beers till "oh, say does..." then they get quiet and wait for the end. as soon as the final note cuts the entire stadium chants "U-S-A" a couple times, which quickly transitions to "lets-go wild-cats"

I went to an A's game when there were a significant number of Orioles fans and they do a "Home of the CHIEEEFS"-esque thing with "OOOOOOO say does that...." or something like that. Extremely trashy.
