'What motivates them to play for a Nation they hold in such contempt,'

Support the country no matter what? Or does it depend who the president is at the time? Is the country going in a good direction, should that be a good reason to sing proudly?

Playing the national anthem was never a foundation of our country, and Wilson was the bro who brought it out in force. It's a weird tradition to have prior to a commercialized sporting event, and perhaps should be left to people who care about it.

I’ve never sung the anthem, but then I’ve never sung anything really.
