It shouldn't have to be read - if you can't hold your hand over your heart and sing the National Anthem then you have no business playing in the game.
[/quote]PLease show the [color=red]requirement [/color]to hold your hand over your heart. Not your personal opinion.
[/quote]
That's like saying please show the requirement to open a door for a lady when your on a date with her. There is no requirement its called showing respect. Please tell me you have atleast some dignity.
[/quote] So, is there less respect if you do not cover the heart, but stand at attention with your hands to the side? Inquiring minds want to know?

Actually it depends on what you mean by stand at attention. If the person has military training and/or boy scout training or whatever and they actually know how to stand at attention or at ease then yes that is respectful but if they are just standing tall because they don't feel like raising there hand that yes that is disrespectful. But this is coming from former military and i'm kinda biased and proudful when it comes to stuff like this.

Ah, so you choose not to sing? Is that leaning towards being un-American and lack of respect?

No Dove, I dont sing because I dont have the best voice in the world and I prefer to listen to the student who is singing...I know they do a much better job of it than I would ever hope to. 

Not going to debate you or anyone else about how "American" I am...simply no need to.  I respect our flag and teach my kids to respect it, as well...I also stop what I am doing, come to attention, take off my hat, and face the flag when the National Anthem is being sung, no matter what others are doing.  I dont forget that it cost American blood and American lives in order for us to be standing in that gym and watching a basketball game.  If for no other reason, I would do the things I do out of respect for those who would stand in front of me, protecting me all in the name of patriotism for this country.  I cant help what you teach or dont teach.

According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171. During rendition of the National Anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.
Compliments of Uncle Google  ;D

I was trained in the United State Navy, that when out of uniform to stand at attention. That's it. No hand over the heart or anything. Not disrespecting those who do or saying that those who do are wrong. I just do what i am trained to do.
