NY Yankees just started their game with a SAXOPHONE national anthem!

[Bluebear]

(With a camera cut to Uber-Bush-supporter Curt Schilling who was tkaing during the whole anthem, but I digress.)

How DARE they allow the sax player to individually express the anthem like this, the anthem is meant to be SUNG! In English!!! :eyes:

1. Curt Shilling obviously has no respect for America.

Seriously, he supports Bush and talked through the national anthem.

[NJ Democrats]

6. Some say there is too much violins on TV. nt

[Arkansas Granny]

7. Hey, it's easier that way. You can't tell what language it's not

being sung in and nobody has to memorize the words.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. And it was in unsung arabic!

They translated the anthem into arabic, then played it with a saxophone!

HOW DARE THEY!

[Bluebear]

15. Funny!

:toast:

[flyingfysh]

9. The Yankees are saxist???

[ktowntennesseedem]

10. Better check the arrangement: most musical terms are in ITALIAN!!!

How dare they play it "Maestoso" or "fortissimo"

[Lefty48197]

11. Dear God, the saxaphone was invented by a Frenchman!

Ok, he was Belgian, and probably Flemish. But there's a lot of French people in Belgium, and Mr. Sax moved to Paris and jammed with the French King's court. Damned French are trying to take over our country.

[Jack Rabbit]

12. And the sax is a terrorist instrument

Clinton played one.

[EFerrari]

16. Holy crap, now I have to turn in my only brother for 'Murika!

[Retrograde]

13. The Grateful Dead sang it at a Giants Game

Several years ago. Only in San Francisco. And, much as I am a Deadhead, I use the word "sang" because I can't think of a better description of what they were doing to it.

14. Bastards!!!!!

This is a travesty of everything that is moral and right. :sarcasm:
