Home of the Chiefs outside Arrowhead?
Seriously? People do this? This should just be an Arrowhead thing, in my opinion. It makes no sense outside Arrowhead, other than road games, of course. (I did it at the game in Denver last week.)
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/self-ho...43--ncaab.html Self: Give up 'home of Chiefs' during anthem 1 hour ago AP - Sports LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- Kansas coach Bill Self wants fans to quit yelling ''Chiefs'' at the end of the national anthem before games that the Jayhawks play at historic Allen Fieldhouse. Fans of the nearby NFL franchise traditionally bellow ''Chiefs'' rather than ''brave,'' the final word in the national anthem, before games played at Arrowhead Stadium. But for some reason, many do the same thing before games played in other area venues. Among them are Allen Fieldhouse and Kauffman Stadium, the home of the Royals. Self said Monday that ''out of respect for what it really stands for and the men and women that have sacrificed so much, I think that we should stay true to what it is.'' Other local coaches have made similar pleas over the years. |

At KState Wildcats games each season ticket holder gets 2 vouchers for free hotdogs. Bill Snyder has a rule that if a fan is heard doing this during the Anthem, an usher is supposed to report the seat number to the ticket office, and that person only gets 1 hot dog voucher.

For your mom, I assumed that option was included in "any sporting event anywhere".

I'm actually a bit surprised that there aren't more people who feel that it's unacceptable in any situation. I think we have some homerism going on, myself included.

I DON'T like it. But I'm not going to raise a stink about it. I have no problem with Self on this either.

I'm even more surprised that more people haven't picked the last option. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Self isnt wrong. It is disrespectful.
He is wrong if he thinks he can get people to stop doing it.

Can't imagine why anybody would want to squash that expression of joy and passion being tied to our country's national anthem. But yeah, it's kinda dumb anywhere else. |
