The National Anthem and sporting events

I have attended a lot of sporting events and still haven't figured out why teams and leagues feel a need to play/sing the National Anthem before games. It neither detracts from nor adds anything to the game.
So to solve the issue in the NFL, I propose that they just do away with the anthem altogether and just play the games. After all, people pay money to see athletes perform. Of course, the issue in the NFL is control. The owners want to make sure they have control of those uppity players, especially the more than 50 pct. that are African American.

Animals?

Hey trump, are you referring to my immigrant wife and immigrant child? They are here legally, but my guess is that you and your fucking nazi buddies still think of them as sub humans. Try and say it to my face sometime. I am basically a non violent man, but you mess with the humans who live with me and that will change.
Of course I suppose it's better to be an animal than what comes out of an animals butt. And that's what you are trump. The nasty stuff that comes out of an animals butt.

Anyone watching the Gubernatorial debate?

KWQC is showing the Democratic candidates debate and I guess it is streaming if you can't get the station on your market. All candidates are tearing into Reynolds and all candidates sound good so far. Glasson is the only one who supports single payer and I have been a supporter of hers since day 1 but if she doesn't get the nomination, I will support whoever does.
Hubbell sounds like a solid candidate and may have a real shot at beating Reynolds. All candidates are currently agreeing that sexual harassment, such as with dix is unacceptable and absolutely should not be paid for by taxpayers. Go get 'em Dems. Reynolds and co. have to go.
