Reminds me of a story I once heard about a couple of hundred people on an international flight whose plane was stranded on the tarmac during a long delay. To pass the time the passengers, who comprised a number of different nationalities, took turns singing their respective national anthems. When the Americans’ turn came around, they sang “the Ballad of Gilligan’s Island.”
I did see one girl, don’t ask me which sport, but we got the fold and the bronze. The one getting the bronze was singing the anthem enthusiastically. A joy to see.
