During the first game of the World Series on Tuesday night, Major League Baseball struck gold by playing a song that’s even more despised by the left than the national anthem.

It was performed with a little help from American servicemen:

God Bless America! ??Thank you God and America! Look NFL no whinny NFL ? babies #GoStros @nflcommish #NFLBoycott #BoycottNFLSponsors @MLB pic.twitter.com/FgfeFeoMaX — IBC Medias (@ByChauvin) October 25, 2017

The song choice, God Bless America, immediately led to a backlash from the Perpetually Outraged:

There is no reason for God Bless America at the ballpark. You don’t have to take off your hat. You don’t even have to stand. — Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) October 25, 2017

YOU DON’T HAVE TO REMOVE YOUR HATS FOR GOD BLESS AMERICA. — Stacey Ghostsulias (@StaceGots) October 25, 2017

Ew, they replaced 7th inning stretch Take Me Out to the Ball Game with God Bless America. The American jingoism is unbearable.#WorldSeries — Legion Soldier (@Legion_Soldier) October 25, 2017

The paranoia is so great in this new era of McCarthyism, the players are standing with their hands over their hearts for God Bless America. #WorldSeries2017 — Elisabeth (@EquaLiza333) October 25, 2017

The newest person to be accused of ‘sexual assault’ in scandal-struck Hollywood? George H.W. Bush

@FOXSportsPR why do you guys air God Bless America when it only sings to Christians and divides? But won’t broadcast anthem protests?? — Travis Sherman (@pennywisechao) October 25, 2017

@MLB you really had people remove their hats for god bless America at ws. Get outta here. What an embarrassment. — james (@b2tracken) October 25, 2017

If we could stop treating “God Bless America” like the National Anthem that would be great. #Dodgers — Micaela Cummings (@Mixee22) October 25, 2017

But pro-American baseball fans then just had to speak up:

Stood in my living room, hat off, hand over my heart during God Bless America… mostly so Trump wouldn’t ask my boss to fire me. — Chris Stone (@ChrisStoneUC) October 25, 2017

Nice rendition of God Bless America. None of this cretinous kneeling garbage. #WorldSeries2017 ?????? #NFLSucks — Bobson Dugnutt (@BobsonDugnutt9) October 25, 2017

Who is more American, Baseball or Football? No one kneeling during God Bless America during the World Series. Leave politics out of sports! — Maggie Jablonski (@e_jablonski) October 25, 2017

Singing “God Bless America” should be a requirement at EVERY MLB game during the season. Especially in certain metropolitan areas. — Jason (@jasonlampman) October 25, 2017

White House reporter asks Sarah Sanders how history will view Trump. No one was prepared for her answer

Now, there’s an idea that would drive the anti-American left absolutely crazy!
