He also is a self proclaimed shark boxer. So he likely doesn't have time for such mundane activities

Relax it was a joke.
Only just moved back. Lived in US and Europe for 20 years and was a big Pavel Bure fan growing up. Don't watch it as much now but follow Ovechkin and the Caps.

Good post. What happened to this little 135 pound man with a kind heart and gentle soul was so damn offensive - a damn tragedy.

Not only not meant for them, but if you google the anthem, there is actually a 3rd stanza that isn't ever sung, that openly mocked slaves. Interesting fact.

Is ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ Racist? | National Review
Was Key pursuing a grudge by describing, or misdescribing, the Corps of Colonial Marines as slaves? Or did he have the (predominantly white) conscripts in mind?

No apology needed but thank you anyway. You are the king of flip flopping so maybe you can take the apology back in your next post...LOL

You shall NEVER take the Jorts name in vain. Jorts are love. Jorts are life.

Yes it is racist is the answer (in its entirety). The truncated version we sing not racist though.Is ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ Racist? | National Review

To some people. If you read the article "slave" had different meanings back then. It's only racist to people that wake up wanting to be mad at something every day and are trying to erase/change history. Slave back then did not mean what it means in this country now.

Francis Scott Key was certainly racist.
What the lines mean is that the British manipulated blacks into trying to fight for them. The British actually make no mention of trying to attract slaves in the original proclamation, only that they would accept blacks as freemen and not as slaves.
There were free blacks and slave blacks in the US at the time.
What the lines were was to admonish the people that switched sides whether they were freemen or not.
You could intrepret that as racist or not.
It was probably best that the poem was amended.
