    When was the last time you sang it?

    I got into this debate with a colleague at work who thought singing the anthem in Spanish was despicable.

    Turns out the last time he sang it was at a Dodger game. And before that at a USC football game. I would safely bet that's essentially the only time most of us sing it. And next time you do, listen to your neighbor mangle or totally forget the English words.

    This is a non-issue.
