Stuff like this distracts from the important stuff, such as, Which team one the game? Do we have the final score? Can and would someone post the box score?

Anyway, on a serious note, I go to lots of games at the Stadium and I always stand for GBA, but I neither remove my cap nor put my hand over my heart, because to do so is to disrepect the national anthem. I was in many USMC color guards and we always lowered all other flags (such as the USMC, Navy, and sometimes, state flags) during the playing of the national anthem, but you never lowered the other flags during the playing of GBA, because only the national anthem deserves such respect.

Anyway, no one should be compelled to worship or participate in anyone else's religion or beliefs, but everyone should show at least a minimum of respect. So, if all of the crowd were asked to bow and face Mecca, the proper response for a non-muslim would be to stand silently to show respect.

Of course, most of you so-called liberal bloggers don't give such respect to others with different political views and you expect others to worship and FUND your secular beliefs of nanny state, affirmative action, and all of that other junk.

Semper Fi,
