“The Star-Spangled Banner” is more than just a song; it’s an iconic anthem that captures the spirit of a nation, recounting a pivotal battle from the War of 1812. Its presence at sporting events has woven itself into the fabric of American sports culture, yet opinions on its necessity remain varied.
We often take for granted the familiar strains echoing through stadiums and arenas before the excitement of a game. But have you ever paused to wonder why this tradition began?
The answer takes us back to the somber days of World War I, when the anthem became a powerful reminder of national pride and resilience.
