In many Sports, before the match starts, the National anthem is played and it gives one great sense of patriotism and happiness hearing the song ‘Jana gana mana’ – the great composition of SriRabindranath Tagore, adopted by the Constituent Assembly as the National Anthem of India on 24 January 1950. It was first sung on 27 December 1911 at the Kolkata Session of the Indian National Congress.The complete song consists of five stanzas. The first stanza contains the full version of the National Anthem.Playing time of the full version of the national anthem is approximately 52 seconds. A short version consisting of the first and last lines of the stanza (playing time approximately 20 seconds) is also played on certain occasions. Elsewhere, some U.S. professional athletes have silently protested police brutality and racial inequality during the playing of the U.S. national anthem.The demonstrations have generated mixed reactions. To many - the protestsare unpatriotic and disrespectful of the U.S. flag, the national anthem, the police, and the military.The protests began in the National Football League (NFL) after San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat and later kneeled during the anthem, as opposed to the tradition of standing, before his team's preseason games of 2016. Throughout the 2016 season, members of various NFL and other sports teams have engaged in similar silent protests.
