In Europe they do not play national anthems before sports events. As an immigrant I like hearing it, I liked the pledge of allegiance in schools because I love and appreciate the United States. Is it necessary to play before every sports game, maybe not. However as an earlier poster said it, why now? Why remove it at a time when so many have disrespected our flag whether its BLM marchers who burned it, or right wingers entering the capitol. I think politics should stay out of sports.
