This. You don't honor anything by attaching it to a Lions preseason game.


I can't simultaneously say 'I didn't come to this game to hear/see the athlete's politics!' and then play the anthem. Whether I (or more importantly, the athletes) like it or not, it has become a binary political referendum with (mostly) mandatory participation.

I'm coming up on 40 seasons of high school coaching and I've never looked at a team before the start of competition and thought 'What we need now is a public display of our political differences!'
