Here is yet another fine example while Chicago is such a shithole and why the Chicago Tribune is nothing more than left wing propaganda. Instead of talking about the daily shootings by gang members in Chicago (which is on pace to beat last year’s total,) The Chicago Tribute wants to take the National Anthem out of sports event (like NFL games.) This is so typical of how left wing progressive liberals “think” things through. Like with the confederate statues. If some people are offended by them, they must be removed and destroyed. Since some NFL thugs are offended by the National Anthem, leftists like Kevin Williams say get rid of it. Leftists aren’t very bright.

With athletes, cheerleaders and singers across the nation now commonly dissing Old Glory, The Chicago Tribune suggests it’s not even appropriate for corporations to play the national anthem at sporting events. On The Town Editor Kevin Williams argues the Star Spangled Banner is getting the disrespect it deserves because it shouldn’t be used at sporting events owned by private businesses.
In an editorial Williams wrote “if we didn’t put the anthem where it doesn’t belong, maybe people wouldn’t use it in the wrong way.”
But who gets to determine a right and wrong way or the proper time and place for the national anthem? Attaching the Star Spangled Banner to sporting events is a long and cherished tradition in this country. Sports fans obviously love the pre-game ceremony and see it as part of the ball park and American experiences.
With disgruntled leftists trashing that tradition, it only follows that, instead of finding fault with them, their media friends would try to justify this poor behavior. Williams’ justification is to claim that playing the anthem at sports events is inappropriate.
The protesters obviously view the flag and national anthem as important enough to protest these ideals though. Take them away and where do their complaints go? To 60 Minutes and MSNBC where they should have gone in the first place.
