games? Just make it about football.

Not to mention that the national anthem is really boring, antiquated, rarely sung well, and all about a single military battle from a war 200+ years ago. It's a pretty terrible song/anthem, on top of it having no place at a football game.

Why not just stick to Ozzy and House of Pain.
