I wish U.S. sports would be more selective about when our Anthem is performed. The only option we have is to go beyond that by adding on extra songs (America the Beautiful, God Bless America, Lift Every Voice...) It's particularly awkward with soccer when a large number of our players are not U.S. citizens, so they just stand there waiting for the match to start. Let's save the anthem for Memorial Day, Flag Day, Fourth of July, etc.
