No National Anthem...again

Prior to starting game two of of the first round playoff series between the Cerritos College softball team and Ventura, the United States National Anthem failed to play on Sunday.

The players and coaches were introduced and each team stood down the baseline waiting for the national anthem to play and it never did.

Last Fall, at a Cerritos College football game, there was no National Anthem played as well.

One begins to wonder how many times it's not being played. I have not attended every single Cerritos sporting event but it makes me wonder how many times they've done it.

The National Anthem means much more to others than just a routine song before a game.

Many veterans take the anthem seriously and it has a big impact for them if it isn't played prior to a game. Many feel disrespected
