The NFL Abandons the National Anthem

I just turned on the NFC game between the Satan spawn cats and San Francisco 49ers.  Instead of singing the National Anthem, they had some dude playing the trumpet.  What part of "singing our national anthem" does the NFL not get?  What next?  Tonal farting?

Probably just following orders from our great leader.  Fuck you, nlf; you don't deserve capital letters.
