When the anthem was shown during the game....there were people in the bar cheering at the end. We live in a purple part of TN, but I looked at my wife and said "WTF is happening? It's apparently not ok to kneel during the anthem, because that's disrespectful, but it's totally cool with some folks to raise their glass and drink and toast during the national anthem??" I suppose the Fox folks thought the players locked in arms was in solidarity for the flag or Trump or something....
