'La Marseillaise', the French national anthem, was originaly written as a war song, which is why it was written in a gung-ho style.
Because the sport team is representing the nation that they are from so they play their anthem, though nations like the US will play their anthem for any sporting occasions even if they are not playing as the US but as other state/city teams I am assuming simply because they are a very patriotic nation
There isn't one, but you can put non-anthem, not an anthem, anti-anthem, anthem-less to your sentence.
following courtesy and protocol visiting country has their anthem first, much like any flag raising ceremony, all other flags raise before with U.S. flag being raised last , and tallest, no anthem or flag should be raised , played after the U.S.'s
The words to 'God Defend New Zealand' were written by Thomas Bracken in the 1870's and first published on July 1st, 1876. The Anthem was first performed on Christmas Day, 1876.
The National Anthem
First written by an American, edited by a Canadian: As with any country's national anthem, standing and taking your hat off is appropriate. This is a simple and respectful gesture for ANY national anthem or flag. You are not required to salute or make any similar gesture, but a simple respectful acknowledgment is part of being polite to citizens of other nations. For citizens of most nations, the etiquette for the national anthem is to stand, salute (if in uniform), place your hand over your heart (if civilian), or similar. It is unnecessary to place your hand over your heart in Canada but the rest is appropriate as well. It is also rather inappropriate to do anything but these things when the anthem is played officially. It is regarded as rude in some countries to sing along with the national anthem but in Canada it is not and contrarily, in elementary schools it often necessary to sing along the anthem so that children will memorize the words.
The original purpose of the National Anthem is to have a National Anthem. Some countries don't have a Natonal Anthem.
