This was really cool to see.  A piece of history for sure.

 

 

Hard to imagine a time when the anthem wasn't ubiquitous.

So she’s anti-anthem too.  Sad to see her sully her name in retirement.

Oh say can you see

By the dawn’s early light

What so proudly we hailed STOP!!!

I’m sorry ladies and gentlemen, there’s no reason to be doing this song here.

Radio, Radio.....

Where in the hell do you see that she was anti-anthem?

So many ignorant takes here today, feels like a game thread.

Harry asked her to go to the Cubs when he did and Nancy refused.

I read this as Nancy applied to play the anthem for the Cubs, and was turned down as they didn't plan to play it regularly and had someone to do it when they do.  Not sure how anyone asking to play the anthem during the Viet Nam War could be anti-anthem.

Pointing out that teams haven't always played the National Anthem before games, even in fairly recent history, isn't anti-anthem.  Its pro-historical truth.

Fun fact:  There was also a period of time in the mid 80's when the White Sox often played "America the Beautiful" instead of "The Star Spangled Banner" before home games at Comiskey Park,
