Title: Refusing the Anthem, should they play?
Post by: Hyades on June 17, 2010, 06:47:17 AM
In every country it is normal and an emotional moment if the players of the national team sing the national anthem. Just the "German" player with roots in Ghana, Tunisia and Turkey as well as Polish Lukas Podolski refuse to sing the national anthem. Would be okay for me if they weren't in the National Team!
In my opinion it should be a MUST for players to sing it, otherwise they'd have to stay out of the games. That easy, I think.
Would you accept someone playing for your country who refused your anthem? I'd like to see your opinions.

By the way, talking about national anthems, do you all know this video where Barack Hussein Obama is caught disrespecting the national anthem :

Yeah, real shocking since everything else he's done shows such a love for the U.S.

Actually, what he does have his hand over during the singing of the national anthem is probably more telling about what he thinks of this country.
