I’m sure I speak for many Americans when I say that those being asked to sing “The Star Spangled Banner” at televised sporting events must simply have the question posed to them not as:
“Are you available to sing our nation anthem on (insert date and stadium here)?”
but rather:
“Before discussing dates and venues, we must ask: are you physically capable of singing the words and music to our national anthem and can we obtain a solemn promise from you that you will resist the urge to rewrite the song while performing it into something more to your liking?”
I think our problem arises simply from a poorly worded question.
