Title: "Not a matter of patriotism..." banning the National Anthem in PA...
Post by: JustKari on November 13, 2012, 10:03:29 AM
at high school hockey games.  I can not imagine that even a "verbose" version would make up enough time to make BANNING it worthwhile. 

The argument is that it costs $300 plus per hour, The NA is not that long, I am baffled by this.

What a lame excuse for a song that takes about a minute and a half to sing.
Maybe they could cut the halftime show down a couple of minutes and show a little respect for the country. :glare:

"Halftime show"?

You know hockey doesn't have two halfs right?

Of course if any Latino kids wanted their anthem played they would do it in a heartbeat.

Do you always let your mouth go off before your brain even gets a crack at a potential thought?
Google hockey halftime show and get back to me.

This ice time rental is obviously being negotiated by democrat liberals. Anyone with half a brain would tell the owners of the rinks that the national anthem will be sung, or the contract will be cancelled.

It probably won't matter anyway. Central and Western PA depend largely on coal to keep the economy running. PA just voted in the guy that promises to kill it. I hope they aren't surprised when the entire hockey program is scrapped for lack of funding.

Maybe those hockey players will be able to play video games on their Obamaphones. :sad:
