Actor to MSNBC: National Anthem is a Scam ‘To Get Boys and Girls to Go Kill People’
By Corinne Weaver | September 25, 2017 10:51 AM EDT
First they came for the statues, now they are coming for the national anthem. The left wants to rip the virtue of patriotism from the public eye. For some progressives, it isn’t enough that NFL players use the anthem for their protest. The anthem itself is a problem.
On Sunday, MSNBC Live with Thomas Roberts, actor Jesse Williams (Grey’s Anatomy) expressed his opinion on Trump, the national anthem, and the NFL. He believed that the NFL was owned by Trump supporters who were “close friends with a very horrible guy who thinks he’s a dictator.” Williams also said that “We’re North Korea,” and finally, that the national anthem has nothing to do with the NFL, but “is a scam.” He told Roberts (who agreed) that the anthem was meant “to get boys and girls to go fly overseas and go kill people.”

More masks are coming off.
Say what you will about Trump, but he is the one making this happen.

I Disagree.
The 'masks' coming off would have happened no matter who it was that beat Hildabeast. The Marxist Left are now self-aware of the crop they have sown that is ready for harvest. They know they have enough foot soldiers to burn it all down - because they understand how many have already willingly surrendered to their ideology in mind and spirit thanks to the media and the education system.
Power belongs only to them, and government is their god - and the seeds of our destruction have germinated within the minds of mush and imbecility they have pollinated and cross-bred with envy, jealousy, hatred and a thirst to impose tyranny with blood and payback.
Trump did not cause this to happen.
He just happened to be present, and perhaps augmented the rage with his thumbastic diplomacy skills.

I don't think it was nearly like this when Bush was in the White House, they are taking it to a whole new level. Trump is just good at setting the trap.

We could go war by war but I am pretty sure in no case was the National Anthem used to scam people into battle. Here is its origins:
"The lyrics come from "Defence of Fort M'Henry", a poem written on September 14, 1814, by the 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812."

Lyrics
O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave![26]

I love our national anthem, especially the last verse.

This guy has spent many a night typing comments on Youtube videos. I always wondered if those were real people.
