But where is it required to sit sing the National Anthem? If that were some sort of standard, you could pretty much forget about sports at every level.

I like your way of thinking! Esp. if you are referring to televised events.

I almost watched a few minutes of a televised sporting event, at an airport boarding gate, about thirty years ago. (I think that it may have been one of those sports involving a ball.) I doubt that my life has been any poorer because of that "missed" opportunity.

Anyone who ever heard an athlete singing a national anthem would probably be glad she refused to sing it.
