is the national anthem poll thread closed?

I just found it. I had not gone into the "off topic" category before. I was unable to vote, but was able to hit the vote button to see the results. I was also able to give thumbs up to posts, but was unable to post my own thoughts. Is it closed to new posts? Or, perhaps, was my attempted post just too long? It was very long, as it is a subject I have plenty to say about, though I would not use this forum except that the opportunity was presented as an "off topic" poll/discussion.

1) I can handle discussing many topics.

2) You made the decision to click on an obviously non-football thread about a subject that does not matter to you and was clearly a question for the moderator and, even though the question was answered & the "discussion" therein completed, you chose to take the time to comment. Those actions don't match your comment of having better things to do. Only an 1diot or a person desiring to throw out some hate toward someone would choose to click on a thread that they express no desire to spend/waste time on. I'm gonna guess 'hater', though I won't rule out '1diot'.

3) Going out of your way to express that the systemic racism in this country means nothing to you says everything anyone needs to know about the content of your character. You'll be glad to know I won't be participating in the forum any longer. I actually care about the lives of my poc brothers & sisters and have no desire to hang out with those who don't.

@Alexander_Reyne, would it have made you feel better if @ladawg had put a smiley after his post? It was pretty clear to me the post was made in jest.

@Alexander_Reyne Ladawg is one of the more open minded and concerned folks on here. in no way was he dimishing the importance of the issue. the poster he was responding to was one he was trying to manage with humor.

I only have one comment to add: "Jerry Jones just planted himself into the world of politics." I am NOT looking forward to seeing his name on a ballot anytime soon. Can't stand the guy personally!

The answer is simple. Do away with the National Anthem at all sporting events. It's normally not played for lectures and concerts and things like that.

I wonder when the custom of playing the national anthem before games first started?

Here's a pretty good article on the subject:

September 4th, 1918 during the 7th inning stretch of the World Series game between the Red Sox and Cubs at Comiskey Park (the Cubs rented it from the White Sox because Weeghman Park only held 14,000).

Well thanks. A pretty old tradition...almost 100 years old. Interesting. Do you know when the custom of playing it before the game started?
