Interesting question. Does the anthem broadcasted make it less of an anthem?
Probably often used for a bathroom break or visit the fridge for a beer.

Another liberal rant thread trying to make people feel bad about the anthem.

Oh good. Another liberal rant thread trying to make people feel bad about the anthem.
BTW, my kids think I'm weird standing at attention whenever and wherever we are when the anthem is played.
I also raise and lower my flag daily.
But I'm guessing the OP will find something wrong with that, too. They're upset that they picked the wrong side to be on, AGAIN.

I don't watch much football but I wouldn't feel the need to stand.
My folks don't stand for the anthem, any time I've seen them watch football.
Hell they might even mute it.

Come on, you guys, Jens is making a very good point here. Your patriotic fervor means zilch if you get selective about honoring it. That's just lip service.
Which highlights the whole kneeling outrage as pointless if the outraged don't practice what they demand in the first place, publicly or not. You folks are essentially saying respecting the flag/anthem comes with a sliding scale of importance as determined by lack of consistent actions, while arguing it's paramount & utterly critical out the other corner of your mouths.
Methinks you're the last folks to be freely throwing stones here.

He know what, those of us that pay for our cable feed have stood, weather it be on the job or behind a cash register or in an office earning a paycheck, we get to say f-u to those that choose not to, because we have earned that right. So f-u to that high horse your on and stick it up the perverbial arse.

"Seriously" means "No" ?
Since when ?
What "Source" makes you think that ?
I see a different problem all-of-a-sudden.
A very serious problem.
