Check out Whitney Houston at the 1991 Super Bowl or (my favorite) Marvin Gaye at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game. “I’ve never been part of an anthem where everybody’s just in unison and lost control and just started moving. It was a beautiful moment,” the superstar hoops player Isiah Thomas recalled later. We have the song to thank for the dear position held in our collective consciousness by the words “the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
As with just about everything else in America, though — statues! old movies! math! — our national anthem stands endangered by the woke mob. What the British couldn’t do to Old Glory in the perilous night, grievance-mongers are trying to do by claiming to be offended by words no one has even heard.
The hammer- and flame-throwing athlete Gwen Berry, who is trying to ride public contempt for American symbols to the top of the fame pyramid without the intervening step of actually being famous for sporting achievements, now says the reason she turned her back on the anthem at the medal ceremony is because of the third verse.
