@newsnationnow: A fan attending a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field was caught on video slapping a spectator on the back of the head for remaining seated during the national anthem. The confrontation took place prior to Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins.
As a veteran it’s respectful to stand, and remove your hat. If he chose not to stand that’s the freedom we provided to exercise his rights. That was assault clear and simple, he should be charged accordingly.

veteran here.in my humble opinion scolding and slapping somebody during the anthem is infinitely more disrespectful to the anthem than sitting during it.

Soooo sitting quietly during the national anthem is disrespectful but not slapping some, yelling, throwing a tantrum, and ignoring the anthem isn’t???
