Default Strange Question for ACists and libertarians

I don't know why I wanted to know this, but I'm curious.

When you guys are at sporting events and/or other public places where the national anthem is played and it's customary to rise and have some kind of attitude of respectful attention, what do you guys do?

The American national anthem, the Star Spangled Banner, is a rather nice poem that celebrates anti-imperialism, so I can understand why it's not exactly in conflict with your philosophy, and you may not mind observing cultural protocols.

But national anthems are by and large meant to evoke some kind of emotional response and instill a sense of attachment, pride, patriotism, etc. in the host nation state.

So I'm wondering:
