Matt Sullivan
Matt Sullivan, a commentator for NBC News, went after the national anthem on Independence day.
“It is one thing for so many people at barbecues and ball games this holiday weekend to willfully ignore that ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ is the product of a poem written by the slave owner Francis Scott Key spewing hate like this: ‘No refuge could save the hireling and slave / From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave.’ But athletes shouldn’t be forced to stand for a ceremony many players have rejected so wholeheartedly that they’re not even bothering to show up anymore.”
Sullivan would continue by bashing “ignorant” Americans who didn’t get angry about the poem by Francis Scott Key.
