Star Spangled Banner Dumped for Woody's Little Red Wagon
Timothy Birdnow
A semi-professional soccer team has
banned the Star Spangled Banner replacing it with Woodie Guthrie's Communist anthem "This Land is Your Land".
Guthrie was a Communist,
make no mistake about that.
From the article:
"After carefully reviewing ‘The Star-Spangled Banner' lyrics and
meaning, including the third verse which mentions ‘No refuge could save
the hireling and slave / From the terror of flight or the gloom of the
grave…,’ Tulsa Athletic came to the decision that the song does not
align with the club’s core values. While this verse is rarely sung,
Tulsa Athletic does not believe ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ represents
or unites their diverse players, fansand community,†the team said in
a press release.
Tulsa Athletic co-owner Sonny Dalesandro also commented on the change.
"From our beginning, we have developed a culture of inclusion and
acceptance at Tulsa Athletic,†he said in the press release. "We live
in a country that allows us to freely speak our voice. We utilize this
right as a club to continually try and improve our team and community.
We believe ‘This Land Is Your Land’ not only captures a powerful
patriotic sentiment, but that it does so in a far more inclusive way.
The song speaks to this country being built and shared by every person
of every race, ethnicity, religionand sexual orientation. It
represents a future Tulsa Athletic is committed to striving for.â€
