I watched the beggining of tonights hockey game with Tampa and Montreal,and when the guy sings the American and Canadian NAs i noticed that everone the players and spectators were not standing still,they were all moving their asses around.
so my poll question is: Do you stand still when you NA is played at a sporting event or during your national holliday?

Yes, I do. Besides, our anthem kicks ass.

I stand for the National Anthem at sporting events and when actually required to stand, on the whole, patriotism is not something I waste much time on, I'm proud of my cultural heritage, but I wouldnt call myself patriotic.
And personally, I think our national anthem can sound bloody awful at times.

I stand for anthems, but I can understand shifting from foot to foot, trying to keep legs awake, etc.

Who gives a shit! Nationality is nothing. I stand when it's my turn to get the beers in.
Though I am a total hypocrit and I often go to see 'Last night of the proms' with my Union Flag, waving it side to side as Rule Brittania and Land of Hope and Glory belt around the concert hall.
Ah
Bah!

Well, as of late when I've been around and it was played, I was in uniform. So yes. Yes I do. And, if I'm outdoors in uniform I salute, too. Otherwise I put my hand over my heart while standing at attention.

So, has Tampa gotten the cup yet, or is this still gotta drag on?
GO BOLTS!

Usually when our National Anthem is being played when I'm around, I'm part of the band playing it. So I'm usually already standing up.

I beg to differ on The Star Spangled Banner.fgalkin wrote:Yes, for the Russian (which kicks ass) and Amrican (which does not kick ass) anthems.
Have a very nice day.

Unlike the Russian anthem, it's an organic thing that evolved into the kick-ass piece of music it is, Russia's was engineered, and that recently.
Some other countries that have awesome national anthems include:
Mexico
Turkey
Germany
Canada
Great Britain
France
And one that really sucks:
Japan

Yes and no, I stand I just don't sing along or have my hand over my heart/saluting.
