Kromm August 11, 2016 Share August 11, 2016 (edited) 20 hours ago, Sew Sumi said: I was never taught to put my hand over my heart for the anthem in the evil public school system, and I was raised during the frikkin Cold War. I still don't do it. I think facing the flag and respecting it with silence while the anthem plays is plenty patriotic. Well to be accurate, the indoctrination is really for the pledge of allegiance, because most schools don't play the anthem. But we get that at ball games from games played at the school level all the way up to pro sports stadiums. The hand on heart for the pledge apparently started during World War II, because the earlier version was something that looked more like a Nazi salute. Seriously. The current manner is described in something called The U.S. Flag Code. And as that first link reveals, we only even HAVE the pledge because of... a socialist. Stupid NBC. I don't mind Beach Volleyball, but I'd like to be seeing some Gymnastics now instead. I'm sure they are "saving it" for Prime Time, right?

It's so bad I almost feel like I should apologize for being one of the people NBC is catering to See, this is what makes me mad. NBC is showing 22 HOURS of rowing on one of its sister stations, but because gymnastics is SO popular, it gets just THREE HOURS TOTAL!!
