Americans everywhere took a brief pause from threatening to kill each other online to share that they believe Ingrid Andress should have been sober during her performance of the National Anthem Monday night.
this literally has nothing to do with what I said. I said the notion of having the “point” of a national anthem be too hard for anyone but the select few be able to do it is ridiculous. it’s not an achievement; it’s a rally.
the national anthem should be sung by the people. in general.
that goes double for the US , considering the obsession this country has with making everyone sing it all the fucking time for any mundane reason.
You can’t deny that an anthem celebrating individual achievement matches way better with the American ethos than a song that can easily be sung by anyone. Not that I’m a fan of that ethos, but yeah the anthem is not out of character at all.
The anthem isn’t really treated like a “rally”, people stand with their hand over their heart and watch a skilled singer sing it.
It’s pretty much only sung at the beginning of professional sports games. Maybe government ceremonies, idk.
Yes, be sure to never excel or try hard, lest someone on Lemmy accuses you of doing something from TikTok
