The National Anthem at Sporting Events

i find it deeply creepy, a, as do most people. I brought some german friends of mine their first american sporting evat one time and they were kind of taken abackcuse that kind of stuff just doesn't happen. It's like being a sports fan and really being happy when your team wins. O, even as a die oc homosooner's fan, i deeply recognize how silly it is that my emotions can ebb and flow based on whether these people wearing these shirts win or lose. Until, you know, philadelphia fans start punching horses and waxing down wer they have to wax down the traffic lights.
