Do you find it disrespectful when players spit during the National Anthem? I seen two Rams players spit during the American Anthem. Kinda made me ticked, as it seemed they were spitting on America.

they should take a fat shit during it as far as I'm concerned.Comment -
Better Question: What does the national anthem have to do with a football game? Why commercialize something that is to be revered? The whole fukking thing is a phony exercise in stupidity. Welcome aboard average mindless American.

Uhhh, trying to figure out the relationship between focusing and spitting.... having a hell of a time.... help a fool out please.
"THE FIRST THING to remember is that it's a battle song.
The most memorable lines involve rockets and bombs, and the lesser-known verses conjure "the havoc of war" and "the gloom of the grave."
The second thing to remember? It's a taunt, a lyrical grenade chucked at a defeated opponent. "See that flag still flying, the one you tried to capture?" it famously asks the British. Then it answers: "Scoreboard."
That's why, in a country that loudly lauds actions on the battlefield and the playing field, "The Star-Spangled Banner" and American athletics have a nearly indissoluble marriage. Hatched during one war, institutionalized during another, this song has become so entrenched in our sports identity that it's almost impossible to think of one without the other.
Our nation honors war. Our nation loves sports. Our nation glorifies winning. Our national anthem strikes all three chords at the same time."
"During World War II, baseball games again became venues for large-scale displays of patriotism, and technological advances in public address systems allowed songs to be played without a band. “The Star-Spangled Banner” was played before games throughout the course of the war, and by the time the war was over, the pregame singing of the national anthem had become cemented as a baseball ritual, after which it spread to other sports."
