It could be the prettiest song in the whole world, but people should not be asked or expected to stand up for it AS IF it were the national anthem.
Because it isn’t.
See?
And they weren’t. They didn’t intro it. They didn’t ask people to stand. They didn’t call it out in any way. If it wasn’t for all the kerfuffle nobody who didn’t know the song would have known it was any demographic’s “national anthem”. It was just the 2nd of 3 patriotic songs before teams came out.
