I would not have said anything if that was my only gripe(hand on heart), it was complete disregard for the flag, anthem, and what it means.
I agree with the lack of respect, it is quite frustrating what so many people take for granted.
Nope, thats why I asked. No need to be coy.
Im a veteran, it doesnt really bother me personally. The nat'l anthem is for everybody, same with the Pledge. Now if i hear sombody badmouthing vets during the Nat'l anthem, ive been known to make them shush. BTW, i do take my hat off, place it over my heart and mumble along the best i can.

(2) when the flag is not displayed, all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.
I am still proud of this country and tell folks all the time. If you feel the same way...tell someone! 
oh-ok. Here is what happens. http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsext...ctid=92&articleid=20100915_92_B1_ULNSbH182236
Me personally? It was a specific experience that got me ticked about this. It was while in a rodeo up north. When one loud jackhole happened to be there in the stands screamed that stupid sheyat at the rodeo during the national anthem. Some of the guys knew I was from here and I had to explain that we do not all do that crap. I was emberassed.
I remember that, believe me I have no love for OU, perhaps because I went to school there for a while. But I think the OP was making the point that the behavior is pretty despicable no matter the venue, and I doubt any of us would give OU fans who did this a pass.
