@HaiLsKuNkY I don't want to be the turd in the punchbowl for you, but Britain killed Irish people even as a kingdom. For example, not doing that much to help the Irish during the potato famine. Or all the other injustices against the Irish while it was under the King's (or Queen's) rule.

@sgsmith1616 when Cromwell slaughtered the Irish Britain was a republic so it has nothing to do with god save the queen. when king billy defeated the Irish at battle of the boyne king billy is Dutch and killed the King of England.

HD, please!

i cant even imagine the feeling they have standing on the winner stand hearing their anthem playing.

@aeiou99999 and, since you obviously don't have a radar that can tell political preferences from youtube comments, i'll tell you that i am a registered independent. next time you make assumptions, bet your damn ass they be right ones. After all, to assume makes an ass of u and me.

@aeiou99999 Under your logic, God Save the Queen should talk about the millions of Irish slaughtered by the English. Or the Indian colonial times. Every country has skeletons in the closet. Everyone understands it. Getting personal doesn't help your case, you just come off as being a huge tool. That doesn't mean you can't be proud from where you come, even for someone like me, who is farther away from being rich than you probably are. Our national anthem is fine, and in line with everyone else.

@aeiou99999 look dude, if you want to get personal, that's your prerogative. Honestly, I don't care if you played D-1 or not, either. I said that's what the song is about. La Marseiallaise is about invading France. God Save the Queen talks about God (oh, no!) and is thus unacceptable, right? And it talks about battle in other verses. The way your sucking off Howard Zinn, you probably expect us to have a National Anthem that talks about how awful we are.

@sgsmith1616 Closed-minded because I didn't sop up the nonsense they teach in your Young Republicans Club about US history? Land of the Free? What a joke! For whom: a few rich, white guys? And who do you know who is brave? I was consulting in South Africa once and a guy there said it all: "The difference between you and us is that you killed off your indigenous people." And I played D1 College Football, by the way.
Theres nothing like hearing our national Anthem at the Olympics... it just sounds so beautiful

I certainly would, I know I would.
Also, at 0:58 of the video is the best scene. Three copies of the Stars and Stripes....I love it!
