@averagejoe1 saidWe need a white national anthem, as well as Native American and East Asian. Perhaps a Hispanic national anthem.
Caused me to turn off TV before it was over, I missed the game, darn it. And so did many.
@suzianne saidAmericans, Suzy. Americans. It is one country, Suzianne. The United States of America. Is this where I say 'duh?
And they say they're not racist.
Uh-huh.
Enlighten us, Tell us a country that has two national anthems, maybe a separate thread, that would be a great discussion.
Or, you could always say we are going to be the first country with 2!! After all, the guy who runs Biden DID say he was going to fundamentally change America.

Post a bloody link.
Non-Americans have no clue to what you are on about.
Sorry about that. This is one country, Shav. How many anthems does Scotland have? Suzianne is apparently endorsing the idea of 2. Does this mean that she thinks the black flag, whatever that will (or does) look like for god sakes, should fly side by side with the American one? She may say, oh no, just below it maybe. Libs though, are never satisfied, so suits will fly, I am sure they will prevail and it will fly ABOVE our flag.
Anyway I will not watch football this season, if anyone cares. This is a WHOLE lot more than 3 minutes of a tune.
@shallow-blue saidY'all have Peeps in Netherlanlds, we have fellers in the South 'of America'.
"Fellers".
Are you Magahats lumberjacks, then?
Are you even OK?
OK everyone, we are all sitting around a campfire. Suzianne says ," Hey YOU GUYS, how about a laced marshmallow!?" (note she calls Bunnyknight a guy).
Shallow Blue, says "Cool, ....mmm., hey you Peeps, this is really good".
I say "OK fellers, I like my beer, but I will try one."
Vote: You wanna be an all-inclusive you guy, or a Peep (hahah) or a regular feller.
Shallow, you can vote too.!!
@averagejoe1 saidJesus right wingers find something to whine about every day. I didn't even notice they played the song, but it's words are better than the war mongering "Star Spangled Banner" anyway.
Caused me to turn off TV before it was over, I missed the game, darn it. And so did many.
Here they are:
"Lift ev’ry voice and sing,
’Til earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list’ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on ’til victory is won.
Stony the road we trod,
Bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat,
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers died.
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered,
Out from the gloomy past,
’Til now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears,
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;
Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee,
Lest our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee;
Shadowed beneath Thy hand,
May we forever stand,
True to our God,
True to our native land."
@earl-of-trumps saidRight wingers are complete idiots and/or complete racists.
Suzie, if you want one national anthem for white people and another national anthem for black people. it is YOU that is racist.,
Playing the song before the national anthem isn't establishing it as a alternate national anthem. Any rational person would know that.

@averagejoe1 saidScotland has one official national anthem: God save the Queen.

Which is an anti-Scottish song.
So, obviously nobody stands to it or sings it. It’s never been accepted.
So, there are two unofficial national anthems:
Scots Wha Hae (by Robert Burns) and
Oh, Flower of Scotland (by the Corries).
Scots Wha Hae is very powerful, anti-English (although it could be considered anti-imperialist), but has a difficult tune.
Oh, Flower of Scotland is actually a barn-stomping folk song from the 60’s. Anti-English and is the song that gets played before national football and rugby games.
And anyone who’s ever heard the Scottish fans sing along, knows how great a song it is.
(Imagine having Born in the USA as a national anthem and everyone singing along).
Infact, here ya go:
If that doesn’t make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, you’re emotionally dead.
@shavixmir saidI do love bagpipes !!!! Highland Cathedral can run all day and fill the air.

The posts above do not see the issue here, but it is OK.
Let's go watch other news on the telly. Biden's food prices are surging, eggs, milk, apples, everything up almost 10%. Maybe he will reduce taxes to clear all of this up? Or, raise them and drive us all into hell.
