I’m surprised they even perform the National Anthem at NBA games anymore.

[Verginius Rufus]

May they could sing "The Internationale." Or perhaps "God bless Africa."

The old Rhodesian national anthem was set to "Ode to Joy," which is a beautiful melody. The first line is "Rise, O voices of Rhodesia." That could easily be changed to "Rise, O voices of America."

Anything, of course, is better than lyrics by Francis Scott Key, the slaveowner.
