The “Outnumbered” panel ripped into Jon Stewart Friday after the comedian called the playing of the national anthem at sporting events a “weird ritual.”
“I think it’s an unfortunate but unsurprising attitude about [the national anthem],” said co-host Emily Compagno, a former NFL cheerleader.
Compagno, who noted that Stewart himself played soccer in college, said that the ritual of standing for the national anthem at games was an “incredible moment” of “patriotism” and knocked the former “Daily Show” host for attempting to discern between standing for the flag at a game versus standing while at home watching on television.
