    Or, if they insist on extra innings lets go the beer league softball route and stick a runner on 2nd.

    Lastly, NASCAR.
    Ties are not tolerated in the US.

    Minor leagues are trying the guy on second thing. I’m not a fan.

    NASCAR is fine. The point of oval racing is that they’re racing each other, not the track. F1 is predictable and there’s not much passing. NASCAR is more competitive. It can be boring on TV, though. You have to really understand and care about the nuances. I’ve been to a couple live and that is cool - it’s so damn loud - though the Trumpistan vibe can be a bit off-putting.

        That ship has sailed. The right-wing think it’s desperately important to shoehorn militarism into every occasion possible. It’s not worth the effort to argue about it.

          Yes I understood that so the question remains.

            Except occasionally in the NFL.

              Worse still: anthems before cricket. Or anything else where they don't run out to play immediately afterwards.

              Bellow it out, shed tears, bulge those eyes, you're so up for it ... and then walk back to the dressing room and have a nap.

                Until the 1960s the British National Anthem was played at the end of the last film at the flicks: I remember that almost nobody took a blind bit of notice while leaving the premises.

                  That's something that the vast majority of Brexit voters would like to bring back...

                    Everyone is upset when it happens.
