Just a quick response about the National Anthem. The official words were changed to "for we are one and free" to remove the reference to the age of the country.

... that's nice, although I'm struggling to understand how we changed that line but kept the "free" bit.

And are we "one"? Seems pretty clear we are a nation divided especially when athletes representing our country refuse to even sing the national anthem.
