mayor of small town cancels seattle seahawks rally due to national anthem

Question

Mayor Mike Courts of DuPont, a small town outside Seattle, canceled a Seattle Seahawks preseason rally this week because the Seahawks had been discussing what to do for the national anthem before Sunday’s regular-season opener.

That looks silly now.

The Seahawks did discuss what to do as a team, and they settled on interlocking arms and standing during the anthem as a sign of unity, receiver Doug Baldwin said in a Facebook video.

“We honor those who have fought for the freedom we cherish, and we stand to ensure the riches of freedom and the security of justice for all people,” Baldwin said in the video. “Progress can and will be made only if we stand together.”

It&#x27;s always interesting how certain people and certain groups of people are against things like unity and a team interlocking arms to promote that.

Here is what you do for the National Anthem: You stand there still, not talking, and with your hat off. Whether you want to put your hand over your heart or not is up to you.

But too many people died for that flag to make it your own personal fuc cken statement or a symbol of "team unity" whatever the fu ck that is.
