The U.S. Military Academy and U.S. Naval Academy met for their annual gridiron classic on Saturday in the aptly named “Army-Navy Game.” While eyes are normally fixated on the athletes and their performance, the 118th meeting between the two military academies saw attention turn to the national anthem ceremony that took place before the opening kickoff.
Amid an angelic snowfall at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, the choirs of each academy joined in singing “The Star Spangled Banner,” The Daily Caller reported.
As the choirs sang in unison, not one player for Army or Navy sat or knelt, a stark contrast to the behaviors being displayed in the NFL.
