I watched the football games yesterday and was amazed that anyone would think that Tyler could actually do a good job of singing the national anthem, but then I was really irritated at the lack of respect shown the flag and the anthem by fans (and players). If you are wearing a hat, remove it. If you are a veteran or on active duty and in uniform then salute.....all other citizens should put their hand on their hearts.
I saw the players yacking it up and fans booing or cheering the players as they were seen on the large screens.
I realize that a lot of people are unaware of proper flag etiquitte. I have been the flag bearer in a number of parades and was saddened by the fact that people just don't seem to know anything at all about how to behave. The flag or it's image should never be worn as clothing. It should not be draped over the front of cars. When the flag passes as in a part of an honor guard it is appropriate for people to stand.
It is a small measure of devotion. These are courtesies that should not be thought of as optional.
