Anthem
---
Games begin with the playing/singing of the National Anthem. It never ceases to amaze me that most of the kids are less than reverent. From where this team stands, the Flag is at about 1 o'clock. But where are their eyes pointing? Where are their hands?
----
This was a City championship game, and therefore the Philadelphia PIAA (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association) Chairman presided over the game and awards ceremony.
----
As I glanced over to where the Chairman stood during the playing of the anthem, his back was to the flag, and though he had removed his cap, the hand holding the cap was at his side, and nowhere near his heart.
----
Is it the same in other cities and towns?
----------
Note: In the group represented by this shot there are clear exceptions. But not many.
