God Bless America?

[DanGarion]

Yay or nay?

This thing is one of my big pet peeves. Personally don't feel it has any place at the game. I already showed my patriotism before the game with the Star Spangled Banner. There isn't a tradition to playing this song at the games and don't see why they are trying to stuff it down our throats now.

There's somewhat of a tradition in that it started after 9/11. That said, its run its course.

I still think it works in NYC for the 9/11 reasons above. Everywhere else, however, could phase it out with little outcry.

[Raiders Army]

I'd vote if there were an option for "Don't care".

They should play it after every inning.

[Groundhog]

They should play it during each inning, on loop.

Even at Toronto's home games.

ESPECIALLY at Toronto home games.

Playing 'God Bless America' --sung by Kate Smith, of course--began at Flyers games back in the early 70's when the Flyers first started to get good. They made a big deal of inviting Miss Smith to sing at their playoff games.

That said, its better than organs or taped playing of rock ditties only grade schoolers appreciate.

[Sgran]

Only if they can get Rage Against the Machine to record it.
