ESPN Panelist Objects to Singing the National Anthem Before Sporting Events // NOV 09 2013 // 3:09PM Singing the "Star-Spangled Banner" before a sporting event is a time-honored tradition. But an ESPN panelist is speaking out against the national anthem. Kevin Blackistone likened it to a “war anthem” during a discussion about Northwestern University’s new uniforms that were created to raise money for wounded veterans. Blackistone said, “Whether it’s the singing of a war anthem to open every game, whether it’s going to get a hotdog and being able to sign up for the Army at the same time, whether it’s the NFL’s embrace of the mythology of the Pat Tillman story. It has been going on in sports since the first National Anthem was played in the World Series back in 1917. It’s time for people to back away.” http://foxnewsinsider.com/2013.....ayed-sporting-events

Kevin Blackstone is out of a job. The statist will make sure of it. The war anthem is a long standing tradition in a nation in perpetual war.
The only thing that might save his job is that he's black. Can't link him to the so-called right wing anti-government "tea party". |
