People are making a mountain out of an ant hill. One might ask why we play the National Anthem before each game. These are just form of entertainment. Think about it we do not play National Anthem before each performance at the opera or performance by city ballet. I admit I do not understand what is the big deal in the first place.

One reason the National Anthem is played before each game (in addition to "tradition"): It's required in the NFL Rule Book. And the players are also required to be on the field for the anthem. Can be fined or suspended if they're not. Standing . . . the rule book says players "should stand", and I expect lawyers would have a field day with that "should".

I'm a Wings fan, but they're not giving me much to cheer about lately. What's wrong canvasback, did the Wings kick the shi# out of your team once too often in the past? Not to worry, right now everyone is returning the favor. I to have quit watching NFL games till someone gets their head screwed on right. Relax Paul. Just some good natured ribbing. But "my" team has been kicking the shit out of the Red Wings since the whole thing started. Seeing as "my" team is the Montreal Canadiens. A Habs fan? James, I am shocked! Q: What's the difference between the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Canadiens? A: The last Red Wings Stanley Cup team picture isn't in black & white. Full disclosure: I am a Leafs fan. The pictures of the Leafs last Stanley Cup win were chiseled in stone. Photography had not yet been invented.

Patrick, we've just let the Red Wings catch up a bit. They were so far behind, and the 1950's was so long ago, they were in danger of just giving up completely.
It's the same for the Leafs. Faint hope is required under the Canadian Justice system.
