It's the first result when searching "percentage of Americans that know the lyrics to the national anthem".

Of Americans that claim to know the lyrics only 39% know what follows the line "whose broad stripes and bright stars".

HOW DARE THESE FOOTBALL PLAYERS DISRESPECT THIS SONG THAT WE DONT KNOW THE WORDS TO!!!

Also "broad"? Fucking patriarchy.

Poor Francis Scott Key.

While I do know the entire first verse of the national anthem (yes, there are multiple verses), I must confess I don't have the entire UW fight song memorized. People are prone to forget things, especially if you don't have frequent repetition. I don't think most school children really sing it anymore.

Boobs got hurt and is on the sidelines and you are tanned, rested and ready to fill in. Chinned for the effort, but still.... doesn't matter if people know the lyrics or not, billionaire sports owners and multi millionaire athletes acting like social justice warriors, kneeling in a giant fuck you to what the flag and anthem represents, rubs most people the wrong way and is hurting their cause, whatever the fuck that cause is. What is it anyway? now? No one seems to really know anymore.

85% of whites thought civil rights protests hurt the cause back in the 60s.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Like I said, it's not working out for you.

Try some facts for a change.

Lighten up boober, you take shit too seriously sometimes. Read less Washington Post, it's nothing but propaganda. No one here is a fucking racist, get out in the real world a bit more.

The numbers check out. Liberals, leftists and socialists combined make up about ~40% of the population. They can recite the Communist Manifesto but not the anthem- go figure. Time for Trump to crack down. Some Draconian patriotic measures are in order.
