I think it shows either ignorance or arrogance about the honor of singing the Star Spangled Banner. Maybe both. The anthem should be sung out of respect for our country not out of an attempt to bring acclaim and adoration to the singer. I thought the game was great but the Aguilera's rendition, the halftime show and the infantile ads were at best way beyond good taste and at worst and indication of the general debasement of the culture. I don't think the NFL has a clue who watches the game. Maybe next year... a good movie.
