Since there is all the controversy in the NFL over the National Anthem, I truly suspect SABOTAGE (deliberate act)
There is a pic of folks in the stands standing and holding their hands over their hearts...
I don’t believe for one dang minute that the PA system “failed”. So good for the players and fans! My Nutmegger ancestors would be proud.
Announcer at the end of the singing of the national anthem.
“That was one of the coolest things I have ever seen.”
I listened to a video of that at Youtube and only heard the men singing.
Gotta’ love it.

Why is it such a big deal when it happens in the US? Wait a minute...
AWESOME!!!!!!!
Was it announced over the PA system, by chance?
They announced over the PA system that the PA system wasn’t working?
Reminds me of when I first got into radio. A big snow storm knocked us off the air. I was sitting at the console when one of the old timers walked by and said “Announce that we’ll be off the air for awhile.” I almost did it.
Thanks for posting. Sent the video across America about five minutes ago to many I know will appreciate it as much as we did.
This IS the America we live in. God Bless America.

I was a sports photographer for fourteen years. On any given weekend I would shoot at least six games. This happened at least three times a year.
It always plays out the same way. Of course the NFL was not acting like a bunch of fools at the time. Getting the anthem done meant you could start the game.
What these kids did was nice, and all. But it’s not unique.
