i'm all for boo'n cano last night at the home run derby, that was great and could'nt of loved it more! but tonight at the all star game the fan's yell out "chief's" at the end of the american anthem! what a shame!!! i'm emberrassed to be a KC FAN at the moment:( the kc people have showed such class the last few day's and then that..... GGGGGGRRRRRRR:mad::Doh:
I missed that somehow, must've been mesmerized by the Stealth going over. I'm not in favor at all of any disrespect to the flag, anthem or anything that's supposed to be patriotic. I did rather enjoy them being on Cano and deservedly so.
Have you ever been to a Chiefs game? Its a Kansas City tradition. I was at the Chiefs game the weekend after 9/11 and the stadium was so silent during the anthem you could hear a mouse pissing on a cotton ball.

jeffie, you should be ashamed being a KC FAN !!!!! GO STEELERS !!!!
Looks like it might be another 40 years before they host it again...Real class act going on, Royals fans should be really proud..LOL
One of my best memories from when I was younger was being at a game with my Grandfather who was a veteran, my Father who is a veteran and my Brother who was in the military at the time and they all screamed Chiefs at the end of the anthem. If they dont have a issue with it then neither do I. Not trying to start a fight and I'm sure I'm in the minority on this but its just my opinion.
haha, i'm ashamed of a lot of thing's eddie:)Quote:

'Course, I'm not a die-hard Chiefs fan, so...perhaps I'd feel differently if I were? Doubt it, but....

The song's not over. When whoever is singing the National Anthem gets to the end of the song and they're singing "o'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave" when they sing "brave" the entire crowd shouts over the top of him/her "CHIEFS!"
Now....I didn't used to be offended by this...until I realized they were yelling "Chiefs!" and not "CHEESE!"
(Go Packers.)
got it, they should not do that,,,,but I will fight for there right to do it..... confusing huh?
Beagle, I would love to take in a good turtle race with you sometime…….
Thank you, I needed that……you crack me up-
Fans do that at every level. I do NOT like it but it is what it is. I think it's mostly done out of ignorance, not disrespect. Most persons today cannot name a famous battle of any war anyone in our military has fought and died in. Hell, most can't even name the wars. It's a shame.
Kevin, most people do not know we use to have turttle races at Pennys Bar in aurora, It was a hoot...Quote:
