9/11 sent it into hyper-drive. That’s when most teams started televising it, and in baseball they had to have patriot porn during the 7th inning stretch too instead of the goofy stuff they used to do then. The more rights they took away from us, the more we had to celebrate. The Anthem at the old Chicago Stadium was a real "Event" and part of the attraction to the Blackhawks games as the fans used to cheer and scream throughout it. It was pretty cool and preceded 9/11 by quite a while, circa the 1985 playoffs. 9/11 seemed to catch everyone else up though, but it was a thing in Chicago for a long time.
If you've never seen the Anthem from Chicago Stadium prior to the 1991 NHL All Star Game, held just a two days after the Gulf War started, it was amazing. Check it out.
Real patriotism in Chicago is Harry Caray taking off his shirt and drunkenly singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" while pissing himself. That's America!

Let's not forget Rosanne's rendition that riled up the normie-cons something fierce.

I have been saying for years before Trump that they should eliminate the anthem at sporting events. Just looking for trouble. Or have both teams in the locker-room while it is playing

12.3 million TV viewers for this game Beating the World Series and the NBA finals Women's college sports can be huge. They just can't translate that to the pros at all. Not sure why. There's something about professional women's sports that doesn't translate to either a male or a female audience, but those same people will support collegiate athletics of all kinds.
