So... anything but the actual cause then. Their desperate screeching is really telling. And if the gun lobby stopped paying them, they would suddenly develop a conscious. |

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Fucking vile.

Can't imagine why a black athlete might have issue with it.

US anthem was a Royal Navy drinking song.
To the tune of My Old Man's a Dustman.

*Vomits* I fucking hate that sack of worthlessness. I don't think anyone else currently alive makes me that angry just by existing, not even nutjobs like Putin and his advisor. If it wasn't for the fact that I'd probably get gunned down on the spot for it, he's the one person I'd unreservedly sock at first sight. He'd go "Hi" and eat a fist, no prior interaction... |

Aye me too. The English one is shit, flower of Scotland isn’t great either , too miserable. Scotland the Brave much better. Every so often they bang on about changing the English one. ...to Jerusalem. Fucking inspiring 😒. And terribly relevant. Jerusalem is about the ludicrousness of Christianity and how we shouldn’t need it to build a better society in England. It couldn’t be more relevant. I also personally find the music itself considerably more anthemic and stirring than GSTQ. |

Best national anthem is either Italy or France IMO. Both absolutely joyous. GSTQ is a shite, tuneless dirge.
