Standing at Attention for God Bless America at Sporting Events

[Roy Munson]

I always gladly stand at attention for the Star Spangled Banner prior to sporting events. Over the last few years it seems that we as spectators are expected to stand for God Bless America as well. This is not our national anthem. How did this come about? What is next? Are we going to have to start standing for America The Beautiful, Born In the USA and any song performed by the group America?

This creeping forced patriotism has to end.
