Seahawks, as a TEAM, may protest anthem

I read the etiquette. There is nothing it about etiquette when not present. So you make your own ethics.

It tells you what to do "when in attendance" and the other "when present". So don't play semantics. You're trying to play "gotcha".

same thing?

same thing?

Bottom line, to appease you - if someone sits at home, they are STILL within guidelines of what the flag and anthem etiquette call for.

So you are saying people at home should stand?

The US Flag Code stipulates:
171. Conduct during playing

During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed there.

With all things in life it's about definitions. Are you defining "present" as existing in the same space or in the same time while aware the anthem is happening (aka watching on tv or in the kitchen but can hear)? What about watching a taped anthem?

pete. Truth be told. No apologies from me. But..You are an IDIOT!

Bet you would sell your parents down the river just to get some attention.

Come to think of it. YOU are getting all the attention you need from those of us who are laughing at your intentional efforts to demonstrate...how much of an Idiot, you truly are.

So...you win the prize. Hope your misery continues to thrive in being the admitted jerk you want to be.

If anyone wishes to disagree with MY POST, using the Liberal tactic of calling a member names. I would agree...only if it wasn't true.
