Time to dump Anthem, Pledge at non-governmental events

We could sure save a lot of ink and pixel space for really important news like coming climate calamity and nuclear war by ending the National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance at sporting and other non governmental events. When encouraged to recite the Pledge in public, I proudly proclaim "NO" before the offensive G word inserted into the Pledge by the crazed anti communists of 1954 (still remember that sorrowful day they added it to my fourth grade class). And the Anthem? Good God, all I can envision at "the bombs busting in air" is the hundreds of thousands of Muslims and other Middle Easterners we've blown up with our millions of smart bombs fired by dummies. The less attention we call to our war loving, climate destroying country the better. When you're wrecking the world...why brag about it?
