It seems kind of odd that the Washington Post is dedicating entire stories to who’s going to be singing the national anthem before National League Championship Series games, but they’ve determined that country singer Travis Tritt being on deck for Game 6 is news. Why? Because Tritt opposes vaccine mandates (but not vaccines, not that Merriam-Webster makes a distinction anymore in its definition of anti-vaxxer) and has canceled shows on his tour at venues that require proof of vaccination. Why hasn’t he been canceled, essentially?

I know I criticize the media a lot and can be very hostile. But please take a moment to say a quick prayer for them today as they navigate this difficult time. https://t.co/IogqLOPGCU

What is the objective of this tweet/article? Are we really at the point where, if someone opposes a (controversial!) government policy, they’re expelled from society? https://t.co/BI3o0pdABX

That’s exactly the point.

You can be for vaccines and against the mandates. That is a reasonable position. https://t.co/Jp7haeUbIR

How is this a news story
— Billy Gribbin (@BillyGribbin) October 23, 2021
Has the Washington Post vetted all of the other national anthem singers lined up and ensured they’re pro-mandate? How about the players?
