I'm in agreement that playing/singing the anthem before EVERY game at almost every level of athletic competition is kind of overplayed. It almost lessens the significance of it. It's just something else to get done, like the starting lineups.
Don't get me started on "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch of baseball games. The song sucks and has no place in sporting events. Did we even sing it during games before 9/11?
