My sons and I always stand for the National Anthem. And then we may critique how much (or little) they mangled it.
Demi got a 5 out of 10. One or two more “interpretations” and she would have been banned from my house. FWIW.
The National Anthem is the National Anthem, and I will stand for it.
I have always hated when singers take liberties with the National Anthem...I’ve always like to hear it sung the original way.....UNTIL I heard this...
You may have heard this before, but Dave Bray, who was with Madison Rising, is a Navy veteran and sings this...
It always fires me up...

Many years ago I learned that you stand in place at attention when the Anthem was played. We were going to an Army game at West Point and we were on the stairs when the Anthem played. I thought it was cool men, women and children standing on the stairs at attention.
When I was a bit older I tried to instill that respect in my boyscouts as an adult leader.
I watched the game to see Kansas City tear the heart out of San Francisco. As for the half time show I watched Youtube, some Finns were building a teepee out of branches and Saran Wrap using a hatchet. Building shelters also an old boyscout interest, awesome and much more interesting then Jlos used up b*tt.
