Several NASCAR team owners said Sunday they would not condone racers protesting during the national anthem, amid protests by sports players at football and baseball games.
There were no protests reported during “The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series in New Hampshire, according to The Associated Press.
Former NASCAR champion Richard Petty told the AP that any member of his team would be fired if they chose to protest the national anthem. Petty now owns Richard Petty Motorsports.

The goal at hand for the left is to have the singing of the anthem removed from the public arena altogether on the grounds that it has "become to controversial".
ReplyDeleteNo public prayer
No Pledge of Allegiance in school.
No singing The Star Spangled Banner.
Anything and everything that offends a leftist or that represents any historical continuity is scheduled for destruction.
"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. In the first stage of life the mind is frivolous and easily distracted, it misses progress by failing in consecutiveness and persistence. This is the condition of children and barbarians in which instinct has learned nothing from experience."
Santayana was right.
Excellent points.
DeleteJust like NASCAR doesn't tolerate the Battle Flag of the Confederacy?

They tried to have them not displayed, but the fans bring them anyway. $ as in all else.
DeleteIf you don't like the Southern flag displayed at the race, stay at home. Also, kiss my ass Yankee.
