Why is the national anthem played ? at games. When did it start
Players were not required to stand for the anthem until 2009.
Wow I thought it was set back during the cold war...maybe another mandela effect?...
The anthem itself has been played for a good amount of time before the games. But most of the players were in the locker rooms during it prior to 2009.
It has been going on in baseball for as long as baseball has been a sport, and the players have always been required to be present and stand, or kneel (practice before "the kneel") with your hat over you're heart.

About 10 minutes before kick-off.
The anthem is played at sports events so we can distinguish loyal Americans from traitors.
Commie spies would sometimes screw up and not stand.
I basically view the kneeling like someone who pisses in my hot tub.Good luck with that Kaepernick.
Good one CB.
I say the flag gives you the right to stand or not. However if you are an NFL player, your pay check is partially paid for by the US Forces who buy the rights to advertise themselves during NFL games, and you are employed and need to follow the rules the private employer sets up beforehand. If you don't like em, quit and find another better job. Good luck with that Kaepernick.
To add, not important but worth mentioning regarding Kaepernick. This guy denies his white ethnicity too (he's bi-racial). His parents abandoned him and good-hearted white parents adopted him and took care of him. Also he sucks at QB, he just runs like a gazelle - so more a running back, not a quarterback. And he wore a Cuban Fidel Castro shirt during games once too, (in Florida) that offended many Cubans there. The guy is an idiot who was lucky to play when he did. Finally, he won his college Bowl Game senior year due to the other teams (Boise State) missing several field goals, was lucky to win there too. That helped his draft.
Good on them, the people spending good money to watch these sporting events should be letting these NFL players know this is a disgusting display or arrogance to take a knee during the national anthem...

Well...
Might watch a game to see if they kneel. If they do I'll find something else to do on Sunday.
