You wouldn't take away the medal if a winner didn't sing, would you? Maybe the winner wants to savor the moment and the singing would be a distraction.

Besides, there are much worse things the gold medal winners could be doing. For example, winners could pose like the Incredible Hulk, could attempt to spike the medal, or could do a victory dance like in pro football. I hope we would all disapprove of these things.

I'd say if the gold medal winners want to stand silently, let them.

Do you get annoyed, as I do, when our gold-medal-winning athletes don't sing along to the National Anthem. They don't have to hit every high note, just mouth the words.

Couldn't they load the Star Spangled Banner onto the old iPod and give that a play every once in a while?
