+Star-Spangled Banner
+Why the Star-Spangled Banner is Played At Sporting Events
+http://www.history.com/news/why-the-star-spangled-banner-is-played-at-sporting-events
+Other baseball parks began to play the song on holidays and special occasions, and Red Sox owner Harry Frazee made it a regular part of Boston home games. The Star-Spangled Banner officially became the U.S. national anthem in 1931, and by the end of World War II,  NFL Commissioner Elmer Layden ordered that it be played at every football game. The tradition quickly spread to other sports, aided by the introduction of large sound systems and post-war patriotism.
+Why Do We Sing the National Anthem at Sporting Events?
+http://mentalfloss.com/article/22150/why-do-we-sing-national-anthem-sporting-events
+The song gained popularity over the course of the 19th century and was often played at public events like parades and Independence Day celebrations (and, on occasion, sporting events). In 1889, the Secretary of the Navy ordered it the official tune to be played during the raising of the flag. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson ordered that it be played at all military ceremonies and other appropriate occasions, making it something of an unofficial national anthem.
+During World War II, baseball games again became venues for large-scale displays of patriotism, and technological advances in public address systems allowed songs to be played without a band. "The Star-Spangled Banner" was played before games throughout the course of the war, and by the time the war was over, the pregame singing of the national anthem had become cemented as a baseball ritual, after which it spread to other sports.

+================
+While the anthem continued to be a game-day fixture, NFL players typically stayed in the locker room for it.

+There was money behind some of the NFL's past patriotism

+In exchange for the money, teams organized displays of national pride including flag presentations, the honoring of military members, reenlistment ceremonies, and even the most unassailable and uplifting of patriotic moments: surprise military homecomings.
+===========
+https://www.snopes.com/nfl-sideline-anthem/
+NFL players were not required to be on the sidelines during the playing of the U.S. national anthem for primetime games prior to 2009.
+While well intentioned, we wonder just how many of these displays included a disclaimer that these events were in fact sponsored by the DOD at taxpayer expense. Even with that disclosure, it is hard to understand how a team accepting taxpayer funds to sponsor a military appreciation game, or to recognize wounded warriors or returning troops, can be construed as anything other than paid patriotism.
+=============
+Days after Japan surrendered, NFL commissioner Elmer Layden called for "The Star-Spangled Banner'' to be played at all NFL games, stating, "The national anthem should be as much a part of every game as the kickoff." And so, while the anthem began to disappear from the movie theater and the opera house, it became an integral part of the sporting experience.
