Honest To God.......

[SentToStud]

I agree 100%.

I'm at Calder often and if I'm in the grandstand when they play the Nat Anthem, I'd bet more people remain seated than bother to stand.

Doesn't seem to be an age/sex/etc thing... People just don't care.

While I'm at it, another peeve is the recording of the Star Spangled Banner they play over the P.A. system at Calder. It's just awful and hasn't been changed in years. Incredibly scratchy and a bunch of notes are skipped.

I don't expect fighter jets and marching bands for a Monday card at the track. But is a reasonably decent version of the National Anthem too much to ask for?
