like...for what?

in the overwhelming majority of sporting events in any given USA professional team sports league each team is from the USA (NHL being the major exception). the majority of events are played on US soil. i mean...we all know where it's going down. so...what?

why do it?

it's not the Olympics or the World Cup or any other of the international competitions where players/teams represent a nation. and in those competitions the winning nation's anthem is performed. that's fine. i get that.

this ain't that.

so why? and when did they start?

and for the of GOD i need the MLB to STOP IT W/THE GOD BLESS AMERICA SHIT. i don't go to as many MLB games as i used to and when i have gone lately it was at Wrigley where they still do Take Me Out to the Ballgame w/some random celeb. i can appreciate that. so i forget that in other stadiums they do GBA at the 7th inning stretch. i can't fucking stand that song. jesus. just...i mean. we will never forget to remember. stop it already!!!!!!!

but back to the Anthem. why and for what? and why not just not do it? damn.

fuck you.
