Ok Mark, let me just say that I was watching the national anthem and I was impressed with the US team's focus on what they had to do on the field. Why get all emotional with the idea that you are there to sing the national anthem. Last time I checked, athletes were not required to sing...they are there to play. I was usually focused on what I had to do rather than the national anthem before games that I played in. Who cares if they didn't sing it? Does it really matter that much? Do you believe in hyper-nationalism? Just let it go. And before you go ripping me on my support of the US, I am a veteran of the US Navy where I served 6 years.
