  07-10-2017 23:09
  Regarding the NFL and other sports protests during the national anthem, a suggestion for segregating politics from the sports forum is to choose not to play the anthem.

Other fiery music, fight songs, or sports related tributes can be used to fire up the event.Friends of ours from Europe have commented that they find it surprising that we play the national anthem at the opening of so many American sport activities. This type of nationalism
