Singing the national anthem, flying a flag orhaving a flyover are acts of patriotism. They are not political for one party or another. If you think they are political then you are anti-American.

Anthems and flyovers have been performed during presidencies of both parties and are apolitical.

Flyovers are an expensive use of taxpayer money.

How does that explain Kaepernack protesting in 2016 while Obama was still president?

So national anthems should not be played at the Olympics when the gold medal is awarded?
Other countries should stop playing anthems before sporting events?
You are confusing two different things.

Johnson, Democrat, was President in Oct 1968.

Looks like your theory again is invalid

I didn’t say anything about who was President.

Racial justice protests take place under both parties — as they should, as long as racism (institutional and otherwise) exists.

Then flying the flag at sports or any other venue is NOT political.
If it occurs under both parties, it is therefore apolitical.

How about stop being ashamed of the country you live in! If youre so ashamed then go move somewhere else. Kneeling is for pathetic snowflakes

Your use of the politicized term "snowflake" (which has an interesting history that you may not be aware of), in relation to my views on this subject only goes to show how inherently political such displays are.

Lol i did that on purpose. I didn't have to ad the snowflake part. I just wanted to show how you liberals like to change the subject. The national anthem is an example of American pride, and anyone who tries to take that away is anti-American.

I already schooled him on that fight club bullshit. He had nothing.

If you're so hot for the National Anthem being performed, why not make it mandatory to do all the verses?
