During Game 5 of the Playoffs last week, Tyrese Gibson decided to change the words of the National Anthem -- and now he realizes what a colossal mistake that really was.
Gibson was booed hardcore after he replaced the line "our flag was still there" with "our Lakers were still there," and when we asked about his version last night, dude turned deathly serious and extremely apologetic.
1. these people have no respect, for tradition. Everyone takes completely for granted the amount of blood ,sweat and tears that came from millions of faceless names that have giving their lives so that WE can enjoy the greatest , freedoms the world can imagine. HE SHOULD BE APOLOGETIC.

2. Roseanne Barr should be grateful. This totally eclipses her *performance* in presenting the National Anthem. At least she brayed the RIGHT WORDS!
Jackass.

3. The guy is apologizing. He made a BIG mistake. But its not like the guy is an asshole like the camera guy trying to get him to say something stupid. " How many versions due you know" A$$ hole know what happened but he is trying to make Tyrese mad. What a douchebag!

4. Hey douchebag Tyrese, what have you ever done for your country? You are a true disgrace to this country and everything my brothers in arms have died for!!

5. I watched the video of his apology. It sounds like someone set him straight and he sounds genuinely sorry. Like he said, he was "in the moment" and didn't think. I doubt he'll do it again.

7. It should be a crime to do that to our anthem during a public performance. I used to be a member of a military color guard and to this day I appreciate having had the opportunity to represent our nation and military at the start of several major sporting events. And it was good times with those guys--AFTER we presented the Colors. Until then, we were focused--we were there to represent. This singer should be ashamed of his public disrespect of our anthem.

8. In the moment, the guy made a mistake for which he is sorry for. He didn't mean to insult anyone. He made a mistake... you know, something we all do from time to time.

9. I thought this guy was a true asshole until I actually listened to his apology. I know that I have made stupid decisons when wrapped up in the moment and I don't think that he is immune to doing the same thing. The guy apologized and I believe that is more than most would do in the same situation. Forgive and move on, at least that is what I plan to do.

15. The KC Chiefs fans change the Anthem at every football game. The entire stadium shouts "Home of the Chiefs at the end of the song and no one has made a story about that yet. But when one person does it, all hell breaks loose. Seriously? There are way bigger issues in the world.
