Well, long before this, I've heard AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL sang in place of the Star Spangled Banner in major sports events.

No way. A person has to read the history of the Star-Spangled Banner and how many men died holding the flag aloft!

Check it out on your own

I sort of like what we have. I have heard complaints that it is difficult to sing. But I like it!

Just because it is old is no reason to change. If it ain’t broke, don’t change!!!

is the Star Spangled Banner too problematic

It is in no way "problematic"

Next it will be “We need a new flag”, then “We need a new Constitution”.

Since they’re turning this into an alternate reality, this is our new anthem:

I agree. Repalce with the Dark Town Strutter’s Ball or Dixie, or any Steven Foster tune. Sarc/

Nope.

Its a major diss to King George and the brits. Never forget.

NEVER FORGET. The blood of patriots founded this country. after decades of trying to work with the monarchy, being rejected and pressed harder and harder.

They’d probably prefer “The International”.

Hell, let’s just have a clear flag, so NO 9NE is “offended”, a Tofu Turkey, and play the “Cotten Eyed Joe” at all American events.

And probably the only national anthem in the world that does so, at the end of the first stanza it asks a very good question:

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
