A crowd at a high school softball championship game burst into song after the announcer said they wouldn't be playing the national anthem Friday in In Fresno, California.

According to Fresno Bee the stadium started booing after the announcer said: 'There will be no anthem, let's just play softball.'

Fan Tiffany Marquez said she was 'shocked' when the announcer said they weren't going to play it. 'Within seconds, you could hear people in the crowd singing and the volume of their voices building. There I was, standing in the middle of a true testament to unity and patriotism.'

After some booing, the whole stadium stood up and started singing it on their own.'

I am very moved by this story. It does my soul good to see that patriotism still reides in my home state.

There ARE people in California who deserve to be saved from the Leftist politicians!

Yes, just about everybody who lives further than 50 miles from the coast line.

Pray for a tsunami!

Neat - and Fresno is so Mexican that the ordinance for “matching decor” has even McDonald’s dressed up in an adobe, red tile scheme....

I knew before knowing it would be California:

Schools there would be the first to ban.

Conservatives there are a diehard bunch.
