Sitting, Standing, and Channel Surfing During the National Anthem
When I’m watching a sporting event at home I sit on a couch during the national anthem. Sometimes I stand to go use the bathroom. Most of the time I watch something else until the game starts. I know the song is playing, but it’s on a different channel. Does the mere knowledge that the national anthem is playing somewhere require some sort of action?
If you camped outside the house of a pro-stander (or anti-sitter) and played the song continuously would they never sit down?
If you did the same thing at the home of a pro-sitter (or anti-stander), would they never stand up?
If the song is performed acapella using sign language in a forest, does it make a sound?

Also, if you’re reading the text of the American anthem, but no music is playing (or the music is playing without the words), are you supposed to stand on one leg?
We’re going to need some sort of rule book in order to figure out the proper action for every possible scenario.
