[QUOTE="Froglaw, post: 3026121, member: 4921"] My bet is that it will not happen. I've never understood why the Anthem is divisive. Francis Scott key wrote it while aboard a British Navy Ship during the siege of Fort McHenry. Key was a lawyer and was aboard the ship to obtain the Release of a doctor who was swept up by British soldiers during the street fighting days before and had been treating British wounded. The song is about our flag still standing the morning after the siege. The words are about bravery and freedom winning over adversity and fear. Why are these thoughts divisive? If it's just a symbol of racism or oppression to some, then I kinda get it as a easy target. However, it became our national anthem at the Olympic Games in Greece after the Civil War. The words and history of the song bely any divisive intent. Again, I'm at a loss on this debate. [/QUOTE]
