Wake up! Football's on! (Week 4 other games thread)

I can't decide who I feel worse for: Jags fans who lose a home game every year or Londoners who are subjected to watching the Jags play every year.

Our anthem kind of makes Britain look like the villain.

Genuinely curious: do other countries normally sing their own national anthems before sporting events, or is that more of an American thing?

The only games that I have watched from across the pond they have played both anthems.

Yeah, I remember that, but I'm more curious about purely European events like a normal soccer game between two British teams or something like that. In other words, when we play the national anthem before these games are they all like "WTF is this all about?" or is it normal.

Ah, I know that they do in some tournaments that I have seen highlights up on ESPN. As far as a regular game

They do when national teams are playing. Not when league games are played.

The NFL has to try and grow more fans for the Jags.

I decided to Google it. The answer is, no, national anthems before sporting events largely don't exist outside the U.S.

This is basically an American thing, by the way. You go to an English Premier League soccer match between, say, Liverpool and Chelsea, and you won’t hear "God Save The Queen" beforehand. The Brits somehow seemed to have survived not hearing their anthem before all their soccer matches.

Only US and Canada really. Started as a patriotic gesture by MLB during WWI and kind of became a tradition.
