Disagree with him? Sure.
Make him go away? Hmmm

And it's within my rights to call him out on such a ridiculous statement. Anyone who is not proud of this country disgusts me. That's right. Disgusts. And that is sugarcoating it.

Wait until 2014.
.....the point is that it's a matter of respect. I don't see the anthem performances so I dont know the exact way the players were standing but there is a certain decorum to follow when the anthem is being played. If they had their arms folded then that's a direct body language thing. Shows they're disapproving. It's disrespectful to the highest degree. Stand with your arms behind your back, with your arms straight down, or with your right hand on your heart, which is what I do in the stands at sporting events with my hat off or clutched to my chest as well.
If someone wants to do something or not do something during the anthem that's their choice, but they are also open to any criticism that follows. Ask that ******* Mahmood Abdul-Rauf or Carlos Delgado a few years back.
