Shame on the unpatriotic sports hub 98.5 wbz-fm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, that's amusing! You think I'm the very stereotype I joked about! Fortunately for all of us, you're wrong.

And unfortunately for you, it is NOT a stereotype. There are many,many people who DON'T care if the Anthem is trampled by a spot, who DON'T care if someone disrespects the flag, but who WILL VERY MUCH CARE if the freedoms that these items represent are taken away. I just hope to God it never happens in OUR lifetime.

God Bless America, and Good Night.
 
It's a stereotype when it comes to me and just about anyone you'll encounter in life. When you learn to discern actual patriotism from flag-waving and slapping a "Support Our Troops" bumper sticker on the tailgate of your F-150, you'll know what you're talking about. Until then, you're just producing carbon dioxide. Don't let the liberals catch you doing that; they'll sic the EPA on ya.
 
Actually, I prefer the Canadian National Anthem, Au Canada, which you hear anytime the Bruins play a Canadian team . In reality since most Bruins are Canadian Americans they could play it at the Garden and few would mind.... ;-)

Also actually, it's O Canada, both in English and French (you can look it up...) I better keep this short or I might burn my potatoes ugh rotten... :D
 
Why " O " Canada? "Au" in French means "For" as in "For Canada".

Rather than carry the National Anthem as did CBS -TV 98.5 FM/The Sports Hub/ WBZ-FM went to a commercial for Kersperky Insurance. Both The Sports - Hub and the sponsor showed poor judgement and put the almighty dollar before The American Flag and National Anthem.

Shame on both of them.

Sounds like the beginning of another one of those liberal commie plots to overthrow the government.

Foreigner????

Dedham. Boston Latin. Harvard.

Yes, I know. That was the point in my calling him a foreigner. It was sarcasm. Something neoconservatives seem to have an increasingly difficult time wrapping their brains around... not that they were starting off with much to work with anyway...
 
IIRC, back in the day when I was involved in such things, the only requirement was that you couldn't join the national anthem in progress. Either all of it, or nothing. If you pulled the trigger too late after a break, and the anthem had started, it was back to filling time for 90 seconds or so.

I don't recall if that was just a station protocol or SOP for any sporting event carried by any station in any medium.

Actually, sarcasm they're good at. Sort of a macho version of the "mean girls in school." It's irony or a sense of humor in general they can't figure out.
 
They buy enough spots to demand any placement they want. Kersperky Security knew exactly that their spot would dump the National Anthem.

I suppose you can offer proof of this?

Believe Avenue of The Americas is 3'rd Avenue and lined on each side of the street with American Flags. The sales whores at CBS probably miss that irony.

No, it's Sixth Avenue. And I'd appreciate an explanation as to why someone who sells time for a living...someone whose work ensures that those who toil in the business take some money home for their efforts...is automatically a whore because they ran a commercial you didn't like.
 
Think you could walk into a room full of veterans and say that?

I'm a veteran and agree with what was said. I have often wondered why, as a nation, we have this giant fixation with outward displays of patriotism. This isn't Hitler's Germany, after all.
 
You're angry...

That's all that I have to say. I have nothing to follow up with.

You're just...angry...good luck to you sir
 
It doesn't bother me...

...And the Sports Hub certainly didn't violate any FCC rules by not airing the anthem.


Seriously, some of you love 'murica so much that you can't find any common sense buried in-between 'dem slabs of rocks between your ears
