So, people in the stands with a beer (and more toxic substances) in their hands , swaying and talking. Not standing at "attention" or anything that resembles it. , Not with their hands over their hearts, not removing their hats, ----- some respect. In fact I would offer that playing our National Anthem in such an atmosphere is disrespect.
