I am not only offended by such behavior as Matt goes on to mention in his
post, but also by fans who:
 
      1) Do not remove their hats (men only)
      2) Continue to mill around the arena or stairs
      3) Begin applauding well before the anthem is complete
 
My father, a WWII veteran, would have seen to it that I was picking my
butt up off the floor at the same time I was looking for my cap, had I
been guilty of violating point number 1.
