More and more football players are hijacking the national anthem to draw attention to themselves and complain that America is oppressive to minorities. This is a good thing that will focus Americans' attention -- not on the imaginary oppression, but on the reality of a fifth column of ingrates who hate the society that has bent over backwards and done more for them than any other society ever has. It's an unfortunate but undeniable fact that when you shower people with beneficence, most of them will resent you rather than respect you for it.
Too many Americans opt to ignore the weighty questions of life and pursue shallow entertainment, often by watching overpaid men play a children's game. Well, you no longer can seek refuge in sports from the insanity engulfing this country, so it's time for you to grow up as well and put away childish things. There already is a civil war, and you have to pick sides.
