I have come around to Maher in the last few years. His Rohan interview made me like him more. He is pretty down to Earth and generally just calls it down the middle as well as anyone. At least he has maintained his sanity unlike others on the Left. Trump psychologically ruined these people.

They used to play God Bless America and the National Anthem before games.

Can't really compare those two together either but I didn't hear anyone complain then.


That's because one was the National Anthem and the other was another patriotic song. Neither was the "national anthem" for only a specific group.

That's the answer of the lazy or the cowardly. It's always for you to decide if you approve of something or not.

i go to a football game i stand and take my hat off for 1 anthem. They play that other one i'm putting my hat back on and taking a seat for the other one.
I gave up my season tickets last year. What seems to be expected during the "Lift Every Voice" playing? Does the PA announce say "Please rise" before it's played?

Has it at least helped blacks stop murdering each other?

The fact that they play a black national anthem was another reason why it was so easy to walk away from the NFL even as a lifetime fan. I tried to hold on at least until Brees retired, but when they got to him and he went woke, I jumped off even earlier!

It makes them feel good, which is really the only goal for white leftists. Make minorities feel like they're being helped while doing absolutely nothing of substance to actually help them. It's armchair activism.

I was wondering why they were playing the Popeyes jingle before every N.F.L. game.

What does this have to do with anything?

He doesn’t know. He already recited the issued talking points and has nothing left to say.

Then you’re a fricking idiot.

I don't think it should be played at games but I also don't think the national anthem should be played. It isn't that complicated


This only reinforces the fact you’re a fricking idiot.

The fact you think this matters in any way erased any possibility of doubt or debate of the fact you’re a fricking idiot.

Your “thing” doesn’t exist. It is a false equivalency. Now frick off commie.

Because God Bless America isn’t a separate anthem for a certain population of the country. Plus we only did that for like three years after 9/11. This is to divide us further and is no different than Jim Crow laws.

It wasn’t an issue until liberals/woke made it one. Just like most of their invented social propaganda divisiveness.

Even Bill Maher is not liberal enough for the current Democratic Party. That’s unbelievable.


While this is no longer true thanks to Greg Gutfeld, I used to say this time 10 years ago that Maher was the late night host furthest on the Left. Now he’s the furthest to the Right. That’s how crazy this country has gotten and I think Bill also realizes this, which is why he genuinely congratulated Gutfeld on becoming the new King of Late Night and said he’s doing a good thing by providing great right wing comedy.
