Sorry for the double posting but for British friends does anyone think it would be better if God Save the Queen was played before every kickoff? The only reason they do the anthem in the first place is because the armed forces pay (with our tax dollars) the leagues in order for glorified recruiting commercials. There is nothing inherently Patriotic about a Knicks/Sixers game, if people don't want to stand in protest that isn't high treason. Right types moan about safe spaces but heaven forbid any politics that they don't like seep into their football safe space.
