Football team is never out there for the anthem. He’s making a fool of himself

It’s different sport with different logistics, a lot more people involved to leave and then Come back that quickly, band pre-game followed by the run out, and length of time in locker rooms before the game. I also think both teams aren’t on the field for it.

Some football teams do have the anthem after the teams come out that final time before kick off, but I don’t recall LSU’s history on this or the SEC’s. I can see some coaches wanting to run out and start coin flip and kick off fairly quickly while players are still hyped up.

It is pretty amazing though how often football has been compared to women’s basketball the past several days on The Rant.

The policy should be the same for both teams playing in the game regardless of going to lockers or staying out for the anthem.
