How to troll an entire nation.
Don't you think cutting out 3/4 of our nation's anthem is disrespecting it a little bit? It's almost like saying someone is 3/5 of a person.

Or, or, we could stop fomenting nationalism, and stop treating our sports as religious events.

Remembering one verse is hard enough, don't expect more from me.

But it gets in the way of all the ads and general money making.

I think we should honor it by drinking. All of our patriotic songs come from English drinking songs

And I believe that the tune is an English drinking song, that everyone knew back then.

I think that America the beautiful should be the anthem.

I think that maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't keep saying the Pledge in Schools #unpopular_opinion

I think we should vote on changing it to, We are the Champions.

I think it should just be a random Aretha Franklin song. Every venue downloads her entire library and plays one before the event.

I mean, might as well go balls to the wall and make it "America (Fuck Yeah)" from Team America: World Police by this point

Imagine all the kids they get to sing the National Anthem singing that instead :D

I vote for Another Bites the Dust, or Don't Stop Me Now. Maybe even Fat Bottomed Girls.

Oh Jeez all of those have possibilities.
