This is something I do not understand. Why would people be furious with the Red Sox for failing to stand at attention for God Bless America? It is, after all, not your national anthem. Will there be repercussions for this? Something like the Red Sox being banned for the rest of the season, or players getting fired or suspensed or fined?
