Yup, because those activities have long since become tradition, and have certainly been organized and sanctioned by the league(s) for many, many years. At least at one time, folks used to think stuff like playing the national anthem was OK. Those of you who hate stuff like that - who apparently aren't "Proud to be an American" as Mr Greenwood observes and which you label as pathetic - at least know its coming before you buy your tickets.
