‘99% of all athletes in America keep their mouth shut during the anthem.’
and do 99% of them refuse to place their hands on the heart, as the majority of these little dears did...?
That’s probably more like 75%. Really do you not pay any attention? Usually guys are bouncing their hand off their leg, staring off in the distance. Like I said, in America pre-game anthem is for game face, actually enjoying the anthem is only for winners at trophy presentations.
