All the competitors were housed at local competitors' houses. There was a whole program. One of the non-competition events was a trip to a professional football game. Probably the most furious I ever got at another human being was when these two kids, who were friggin' <i>staying at my house</i>, refused to stand during our national anthem. Respect. We've earned it. God Bless, Sergeant. And good hunting. I remember a long time ago, I competed in an international sports competition. All the competitors were housed at local competitors’ houses.

From their standpoint, because the top of the head is uncovered, it is okay to leave the thing on... and, in fact, the Greeks felt like it was disrespectful to take the wreath off.

You don't need to be a great signer in order to belt out your countries national anthem. They should show some pride and respect and sign along. My six year old daughter signs it everytime she hears it, so should our athletes.
