It would be interesting to hear all the BS out of the mouths of league officials and owners about why they decided to do this – all if it PR, none of it real. You cannot be “wrong” in an opinion – you have a right to express yourself. I have a similar opinion, but that doesn’t mean we are “right” or “wrong”, we simply agree. This is a matter where there truly is no right or wrong answer — it is simply whatever the NFL, MLB, NHL, and every other sports league in the nation decides to do. It is a custom, not a law (to my knowledge). Anthems are symbols of jingoism and nationalism and the emotions they evoke are unnecessary in daily life, even unhelpful, and at worst, dangerous. In New Zealand the national anthem is typically played before international sports matches, where the national teams compete against each other, representing their nations. You can’t say the same of concerts or theatre. The national anthems aren’t so much played to engage the respect of the audience before some entertainment, more to signify the importance (such as it may be) of the international match. If you want to get philosophical about it, there is no need to arouse a national fervour before a concert or play because there is no imminent, aggressive competition between two nations in the near future at those events, … er, usually. National anthems are partisan and jingoistic in nature and nowadays it is felt that the emotions stirred by such displays of chest-beating are kept to ritual competition — in sports; or moments where a heightened sense of national identity is wanted — ceremonial events.
