[QUOTE="SaintsFan_Webby, post: 119055"] Thing which ****** me off occured to me while watching a video: Sportsmen (especially footballers) who don't sing the national anthem. These guys are being paid ridiculous amounts of money anyway, and then they get to live the dream of representing their country. Few things grate more on me than the camera panning along the English football team during the anthem, only for half of the burkes to be standing stoney faced. Representing your country should be the ultimate priviledge. The anthems should be something to stir your soul. Someone needs to tell some of these young guys it isn't kareoke - no one is going to bat an eyelid if you bellow it out with all your heart. I've noticed during rugby internationals, 99% of the players you see will sing with a look on their face which shows the pride running through them. The only excuse for them not to sing in my opinion, is if they are so choked and overwhelmed by the occaison that singing would just send them over the edge. If there isn't a tear in their eye, then there is no excuse for any international to stand there chewing gum and acting like they don't care. [/QUOTE]
