What happens when the national anthem isn't played before a ballgame? In Fresno, Calif., first the crowd boos, then it takes it upon themselves to sing it anyway -- a cappella.
In a show of patriotism before Memorial Day, the crowd at a high school softball championship game at Fresno State's Margie Wright Diamond on Friday night launched into their own rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" after it was announced that the song wouldn't be played because it had already been played before an earlier game.
“Honestly, I was shocked (when) the announcer stated, ‘There will be no anthem, let’s just play softball,’” fan Tiffany Marquez of Fowler, Calif., told the Fresno Bee. “Within seconds, you could hear people in the crowd singing and the volume of their voices building.

Renewing my faith in California. If California ever tried to leave the federal union, certainly there would be major bloodshed in their streets.
Someone should put this article on Roger Goodell’s reading list.
God bless the American people.
In some cases, Canadians (in Canada) have sung OUR national Anthem at games.

LOL, my wife and I often joke about that. The last time I got my license renewed at the local DMV, I was asked if I wanted to register to vote. I told the lady I couldn’t vote because I was not a citizen. She says to me ‘Oh, you can still register’. I politely declined.
The children of those people will be suspended from school during the summer.
Heck even if you were caught you could have always claimed that your car broke down and you were walking home ;-)
Americans are going to keep winning and the commie libs are going to continue choking on their own screwups. I love this!
But no one is illegally voting in elections, if you listen to Leftists on the question.

Wow
Fresno is about 140 miles inland. To inhabitants of the big coastal California cities, Fresno might as well be on another planet.
Oh God, to have that video on YouTube...
Thank you for doing it the right way and welcome to all of you.
IMHO the crowd singing the anthem is far preferable to some soloist of the week belting out her own “special artistic rendition”.
What’s wrong with “Let’s us all join Bambi Sue in singing OUR national anthem together?”
