Mr Giggs thinks its not acceptable

[bill taylors apprentice]

for him to sing the national Anthem of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is it fair to call him a hypocrite for enjoying the privilege of representing Team GB, accepting an OBE from the Queen of said Country?
I wonder if he sang when he captained the England school boy team?

[Bassey the warrior]

Yes it is. Personally I don't even know the national anthem never mind wanting to sing it. If he wants to make a point he shouldn't have accepted the OBE.

I'm not going to waste my words beyond what I have to on a subject that is so tedious now. Why do people care about whether people sing the national anthem or not, it's just finding any old excuse to have a go at players.

I felt torn when England played Wales. I would have to liked to sing both anthems but was in the England part at Wembley

Well you did waste your words by typing "WHO CARES" in large capitals to make a statement. Just move along..

I object to people objecting to Giggs refusing to sing. 

[NogoodBoyo]

Over-ruled.

Abject objecting

I don't care either, but I do care when someone else comes along and just types WHO CARES in capitals to make a statement. If someone doesn't really care, they'll just read and move on.

[Mr_Moon]

I'm offering him some friendly advice.

[Berserker]

Calm gentlemen please

[SouthfieldWhite]

Someone should of seen this coming, Pearce was always passionate about singing the national anthem, albeit the English one, it doesn't really show a togetherness when so many don't sing, but maybe they should change the GB anthem to rule Britania or something

Other than that I agree with Admin

[ImperialWhite]

I'm adding to the "don't cares".

It's just a national anthem.

Sing it if you want to. Don't sing it if you don't want to - this isn't North Korea.

How much passion are we required to show? Shall we make our athletes weep with joy too?

[ImperialWhite]

While we're at it, how do the Northern Ireland athletes feel about playing for Team GB? Why isn't it Team UK?
