Is it unpatriotic for a mascot to keep his head on during the national anthem - Antsmarching.org Forums

Pretty simple question. A mascot head is a giant hat. They should take them off. Basically they are worse than kaepernick

BotheLaneFan · 01-09-2017, 07:14 PM

Most astute observation you have ever made.

Tiduwho · 01-09-2017, 07:20 PM

Not a hat.

But he better have his hand over his heart.

swordo84 · 01-09-2017, 07:26 PM

National anthems before sporting events are dumb. Need to go away.

A mascot is to never be seen without the head, so, no.

It's so much more offensive than Colin K. Colin K at least shows his face in his blatant disrespect of all the people that died for that song. These cowards hiding in their outfits do it in secrecy. They should be summarily executed for treason.

They should absolutely be out there for the anthem and in full costume. They are part of the spectacle that is the sporting event.

Why is the anthem sang at sporting events anyway? It has always seemed odd tor me that a sporting event is the only time it's ever done.

That explains why.

Real people mascots(I can only think of WVU's right now) should remove their hats.

Well to be fair when you come from a country with nothing to be proud of I would feel this way to.

The sarcasm in this thread is confusing

Follow up question....Should Ohio St. Brutus remove his hat during the national anthem?

Lee3691 · 01-09-2017, 09:57 PM

When are they going to start rapping the National Anthem?

Agree with this statement. I'll add, if a mascot has a hat as part of the costume, the hat should be removed during the National Anthem.

i got scolded by some old lady during the National Anthem before a Red Sox game because I was looking around. I politely waited until after and told her she really shouldn't be talking during it.

Two cardinal rules for mascots: don't take your head off, and don't talk.
