Anthems before DOMESTIC sporting events are an exclusively North American sport phenomenon.

They play anthems before hockey games here but NEVER for actual good old English sports like soccerballs or rugby

everyone is getting very upset over it and they want it gone lol

but the sports leagues are adamant they stay. They were about to ban it for basketball games but the guy in charge of the league just said "all NBA games will have the anthem"

I find it pointless when I'm watching the NHL but I quite like it when I'm on the ice playing or reffing in real life.

I'm not sure why they do it for hockey here though but not everything else, it's probably just in an attempt to copy North America and hockey is a North American thing

Like how British high schools try to copy the f***ing prom because they want to pretend they're in an American film

In 300 Theros asks the queen Gorgos "Do you love your country?" "Do you love your king"

(yes I know that's probably not the screencap from the episode but finding it is a PITA so I just gave up and posted the one from "General Melchett visits the troops")

"Keep politics out of sports," said the same group of people who want the anthem played before every sporting event and demand the players stand at attention.

At best, one could argue anthems are a waste of time. At worst, one could argue they're nationalistic propaganda.

I tend to lean more towards the latter in some instances when they want to do some military worship before games as well. It's always really f***ed me off that they advertise a game as 7pm start but when you turn it on there's a good 5 minutes of ads and presentations and anthems

Dear Ron Maclean
Dear Coach's Corner
I'm writing in order,
for someone to explain,
to my neice the distinction,
between these mandatory pre-game group rites of submission,
and the rallies at Nuremburg

"As the soldiers inexplicably rappel down from the arena rafters"

That line of the song really hits home the hardest

It came out like a decade ago, but sports teams were literally being paid by the government to honor veterans during games, which sounds an awful lot like propaganda

Dear Ron MacLean,
I am writing to inquire as to why you did a hatchet job on Alex Burrows all those years ago.

The fact that Mr. Bean is in Blackadder and talking is highly concerning to me

You mean to tell me Mr Bean can talk now

At Steelhead games it is customary to turn and face the Queen's portrait during the anthem so one side does not look onto the ice. It is somewhat funny to see the reaction of newbies when that section turns around is looking at them.

I don't really care about playing the anthem, but I keep it classy while it or the US anthem is being played.

The task of selecting a stereo receiver/amplifier is complicated by the wide variety of systems being marketing by electronics firms (2.0, 2.1, 3.1, 5.1, 7.1 or 7.2) Those numbers indicate how many channels of stereo are created. 2.0 is traditional stereo, 2.1 adds a separate sub-woofer, 3.1 adds a center channel, 5.1 includes rear speakers for better surround sound effects. Finally, 7.1 adds two speakers on the left and right and positioned about where the listener sits, while 7.2 is the same as a 7.1 system but with an extra sub-woofer.
