You keep doing it because it promotes national unity.
It says there they started in 1862 during the civil war. I'm fairly confident that isn't World War I.wrong.

"The song is about a battle in the War of 1812. The first documented time that it was played at an American sporting event came at a baseball game in 1862, during the Civil War. The tradition of playing it at sports events got a dramatic boost at the 1918 World Series, during World War I. And the tradition of playing it before games was popularized during World War II."
the first time it happened isn't necessarily the start of the tradition...it's more like when you start doing it at every opportunityIt says there they started in 1862 during the civil war. I'm fairly confident that isn't World War I.
Like they did during WWII according to your post?the first time it happened isn't necessarily the start of the tradition...it's more like when you start doing it at every opportunity
yes, during WW1 they started doing it when it was available.Like they did during WWII according to your post?
It's doing a bang up job at that.It wasn't started during WW1.
You keep doing it because it promotes national unity.
Somewhere along the way it became uncool to not be patriotic. Struck me as very odd when I actually took the time to think about it.It's doing a bang up job at that.
Please stop. Your own post acknowledges that it didn't start during or become tradition during WW1.yes, during WW1 they started doing it when it was available.
basically, if a band was there they played Star-Spangled Banner - starting at the 1918 World Series.
Why is patriotism stupid, do you think the country you live in sucks?I fucking hate when sports play the national anthem, nobody wants to hear that shit.
Patriotism is stupid.
I find it ridiculous to be proud of something that you did not accomplish, but was an accident of birth. Same with racial pride.Why is patriotism stupid, do you think the country you live in sucks?
