That gesture was a Horn Down he flashed...

"The performance of the national anthem during NCAA championship events is a solemn moment for reflection and mutual respect for all championship participants and fans in attendance," the NCAA said in a statement. "Following his national anthem performance during the Women's College World Series -- during which the performer inappropriately supported one participating team, taunted the other team, and disrupted participating student-athletes and coaches by attempting to interact with them -- he was asked not to perform during the Men's College World Series."

The singer before the Belmont finished the anthem and yelled, "Go Rangers (hockey)!" I thought it was tacky. This A&M dude was too. He probably would have been hired again next season if he just took his lumps and shut up, but he's likely blackballed now for going public and being a shite stirrer.

I don’t think what he did is the slightest bit offensive. However, I am sure he had the rules clearly explained to him prior to the event. Rules are rules.
