Roseanne Grabs Crotch and Spits after Screeching the National Anthem…..

July 25, 1990……

Comedienne Roseanne Barr delivers a screeching rendition of the U.S. National Anthem at a Padres baseball game. When she finished, she grabbed her crotch and spit on the ground amid a stadium of booing fans. She claimed later that the crotch grab was intended to poke fun a ballplayer’s bad habits and wasn’t intended to disrespect the anthem.
