PLEASE???


Can we PLEASE just have a straight rendition of the Star Spangled Banner at a sporting event, without all the R&B key change and cram-a-thousand-notes-into-a-measure bullshit??? Just one time? Well, if it's not that, it's country singers throwing their heinous twists into it, as well... Drives me up a wall...

I'm not all that particularly gung ho patriotic, but I am an American... and I love (most) sports... so PLEASE stop fucking up the beginning of my sporting experience by offerring up twisted versions of the country's national anthem...
