Disappointed at Pacquiao during National Anthem

If he heard it and did not stand at attention or give it the smallest amount of respect, that's actually a really telling thing about his character. You don't judge someone because of the big things they do where everyone can see; you judge them based on the small things, the little things that everyone can do and not everyone pay attention to because if they can't even do the small things, then how can I expect them to do the bigs things that will affect me? Standing at attention or paying the flag a small amount of respect doesn't affect anyone else, but it is something that shows one's respect for their country. If he can't do that, can I believe that someone who can't respect his flag and national anthem can then respect me? I'm a nobody! But the flag and national anthem are everywhere. I mean, just look at the difference between Pacquaio's treatment of our National Anthem and Marquez's treatment of his. And Pacquaio's reaction was after Marquez's. It was so embarrassing and disappointing. The Filipinos who squealed when Pacquiao was shown on the screen DURING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM was equally disappointing and embarrassing. Clearly, Filipinos care little for their country. This is obvious to everyone, of course. I really shouldn't have been surprised.

I don't know neelia. I mean, he was walking normally up to the side of the ring and he's been fighting for so long, I doubt he'l forget that you have to sing your National Anthem before you even start your fight. And I understand if he was so obsessed with winning that he could tune out everything else, but I think it's a pretty conscious decision to ignore the logical course of events (that is, boxers arrive and move to their sides of the ring National Anthem of each player's country + home country lays players called to the ring to voice out rules and start fight) when he's been a boxer for so long. I also think he could be focused on winning and still pay attention to our National Anthem. Then again, I wasn't just disappointed at Pacquiao. I was also disappointed at the Filipinos who actually squealed when Pacquiao was shown on screen WHILE THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WAS BEING SUNG. Ugh. So embarrassing. And that had to come after the Mexicans loud singing and Marquez's utter respect for his flag and anthem. The differences were so jarring.
