It happens at sporting events all across America, from pee-wee football to major league baseball, the presenting of the colors and the national anthem. You might be surprised to the origins of this tradition.
What are your thoughts on this practice?

Awesome! Buffalo Sabres games they sing American and Canadian national anthems and it fires 20,000 people up. Go to other countries and you will witness a different amount of patriotism. American's have flags, shirts, about 15 patriotic days a year from New Years (floats and colors), Flag day, July 4th to Memorial day and Thanksgiving. Just an wonderful country that has had millions sacrifice for it's well being and longevity.

It is a tradition and it would feel awkward if it didn't happen. I couldn't imagine going to a game and it didn't happen. We should be proud of being Americans and stand strong together as a nation.

Now it's a matter if I can even get to a game these days with my work schedule, lol. I'm hoping to attend something in Atlanta.
