What's sillier though, the anthem or the sports event?


The anthem is important and it is cheapened by being used at every single sporting event played between americans, in american venues.

They leverage something important to get 'cheap heat' out of the audience for something that's ultimately pretty silly, but we still care about.

No one would ever hear it without sports.

As others have said, there's no real reason to it - other sports copied baseball's tradition to add legitimacy to their own sport. But I like it and want to keep it a part of baseball. I don't care about the other sports so much, but I really like it in baseball.
