Looks like it requires a twitter account so no thanks.

They used to play on special occasions. It was so popular they started playing before every game.

Honestly? Why play the National Anthem at any sporting activity - professional sports are a business, not a national patriotic entity.

Since the players and the owners have gone crazy on us, let's withdraw the privilege of displaying our flag or playing the National Anthem.

I don’t see a choice for “Never” which, after that shrew-pig Roseanne Barr farted out the anthum is the only acceptable answer.

Seam heads can donate to a veteran’s charity if they’re feeling patriotic.

If every game isn’t a “special occasions” then you are charging 100 times too much for every ticket.

Requires a Twitter account. I dumped Twitter years ago.

At this point they could all piss on the 50 yard line for all I care. Already spent half my life idolizing those idiots in sportsball, that is my regret...Done.

I agree. It simply gives them an opportunity to disrespect our flag, and our country as well as giving them a forum to air their perceived grievances such as being an "oppressed" multi-millionaire who gets a massive paycheck to play a game.

Either refrain from playing the National Anthem, or simply play it while the players are in the locker room before they take the field.

Let the fans sing it spontaneously, that would send a POWERFUL message.

I very seldom watch any sports as it’s almost 100% a total waste of my time. The only sports I consider worthy of my time are those that are related to hunting, shooting and survivalist skill’s. Basketball, baseball, football are off my radar.
