Booing of the national anthems

I hope each set of fans does this to the other's anthem. I enjoy seeing people utterly 'outraged' at folk booing a song and claiming it's 'disrespectful' to an entire nation. Frankly there should be more booing of anthems. They are a riduculous anachronism.

I wouldn't make a habit of booing anthems (I sang over the first half of the Lithuanian one, but that's because I genuinely didn't know it had started), but if I was going to boo one it'd probably be the one that declares a love for the royal family and a fictional sky fairy. Rancid anthem.

God save our gracious queen, something something something, God save the queen na na na na

Something victorious, happy and glorious

Somethng something

God save the queen.

That's how much of the anthem I can sing. I'd be hated if I was a UK athlete.

Wouldn't boo anyone else's anthem, but we have a right as it's technically ours too, as the Sevco say.

As said elsewhere, it'd help if it wasn't such a dire dirge that celebrates slavery to society's 'betters'. Seriously question the self-worth of anybody who sings that.
