I must admit to warming to American sports more these days. Especially the baseball.
Game 5 of the World Series is about to start and they just had the anthem sung by a fella (a country singer i guess) but the crowd were silent.
Here the anthem is sung by all, the designated singer and the crowd. There it was the soloist only. Is there a reason for that?

Too much to learn?

...32 million adults in the U.S. can’t read. That’s 14 percent of the population. 21 percent of adults in the U.S. read below a 5th grade level, and 19 percent of high school graduates can’t read.
I have attended a number of Native American pow-wows in the States, including the biggest one off all, the one at Window Rock, Arizona. Considering the cruel treatment to them by the American government in their history they still all rallied to the Star Spangled Banner at the end of the proceedings.

Yesterday at Twickenham in the American Football.
A Man singing a song about The Royal Navy not being able to capture Fort Mchenrey in 1812.
Immediately followed by a Crowd singing a song about the descendant of the guy who sent them there to do it.
I think that the difficulty referred to may relate to the ability in singing the anthem in tune rather than reproducing the lyrics.

New version of the USA anthemn.
Donald Trump is a chump
Donald Trump is a chump
Donnnald Trump is a chump
Donald Trump is a chuump
Continue in this vein , it fits the whole song perfectly.
Why sing the anthem for a non international game anyway ?
The arrogance of Yanks calling a domestic competition " The World Series " is stupid enough to start with.
