Ugh, those comments on that site :/ I think it was great that Blackistone put it out there, but it sure is going to get a lot of idiots and meat heads all riled up.

FWIW, personally I prefer "America the Beautiful"(not a war anthem) for a national anthem.

I went over to the article expecting to disagree with you guys, but nope, I totally agree with what the guy said and the sentiment in this thread thus far.

Heroic.

Sadly though the effect he's talking about is working against him. All of the pro-military nationalism that's been cultivated in sports is coming after him on twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/search?q=@profblackistone&s=typd

Different strokes for different folks. To each his own.

err, the British were attacking Baltimore. Now we are supposed to cheer on the British empire military machine? Yikes!

Self-defense is a natural right.

We fought well , had 28 killed , killed 46 of them , including the British officer Major General Robert Ross.

Would never hold up today , handful of SAS could squash the pussies in Baltimore like bugs , take it in one day, lol

 

[oyarde]

Just more douche baggery by the ignorant masses, wasting time on the song originally titled " Defence of Ft McHenry" . All the while the evil steal more ......

 

[oyarde]

Think I will get out my Hendrix , play some Star Spangled since that is the only one I have here, celebrate a time when there were better men and a port city could be defended.

 

[oyarde]

I was a little drunk last night , for a handful of 2 1/2 dollar gold pc.'s I would have leased Baltimore to the British through 2016, , lol

Yes, but that is not what it is being used today to promote. The militarism today isn't for defending our own country; it's for invading and overthrowing sovereign nations who did absolutely nothing to us.

Exactly.
