No singing to star spangled banner in NBA game

I was concurrently honored, impressed, and embarrassed as the Toronto Maple Leaf fans finished signing the SSB, when the PA went out.
The embarrassing part is that I'm pretty sure if it occurred i the US during Oh Canada, the US fans would not have been able to do this.

Canadians have done that a few times -- one of the many reasons I like Canadians (other than their semi-socialist government -- which still manages to produce a balanced budget -- and overprioritization of bilingualism). Not only would US fans not have been able to sing O Canada in a mirrored situation, I'm starting to doubt their ability to remember the actual lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner for a purely home game.

I think it's worse than that even. Send Waters out to any location and ask 100 shmucks what our country's national anthem is, they wouldn't even know, let alone know the words.
