He's an old southern gently caress and he says some ignorant rear end poo poo. It's my understanding that that's just sort of what old southern fucks do?

There is a pretty compelling argument that Christian beliefs and national anthems are incompatible because of false worship reasons, but I'm not dumb enough to tweet that at JR.

People who get indignant about how people should put hand over heart for the national anthem make me so loving angry for some reason.

I think it's the fact that someone is trying to "stick up for 'merica" but they're actually being Wrongy McWrongerson.

gently caress YOU HAND-OVER-HEART DURING NATIONAL ANTHEM PEOPLE, YOU MAKE ME SICK.

Interestingly, the use of "should" legally means it's not mandatory. For civilians that makes some sense, but I'm surprised the the uniformed individuals aren't required.

Well considering Chuck actually knows Moxley pretty well, I doubt he's namechecking. The brown thing, well I can't really defend that.

Yeah, the name thing seemd more about him knowing "Moxley" but Reigns not being an Indy guy.
