My son watched the game, and told me there was a bit of booing. No doubt - how would Americans react if they were "forced" to sing "O Canada"? Personally, I don't like the political implications of it at all. Sounds like Big Brother "power-over" tactics to me.

But yes, God Bless America is a fine sentiment indeed. Remembering that "God" blesses those who bless themselves, of course.
