I was at the game Sunday. I am a less than sappy guy. My thoughts....
1st: This girl can belt it out. Wow! She was so powerful for being so small. Just amazing!
2nd: Several Bengals players... I think Dunlap was the first one out there... went on the field and were congratulating her and were very supportive, excited, and fired up for how she had just performed. The Seahawks also all stood on their sideline and genuinely cheered and clapped for her when she was done. Not the typical after the anthem "Yeah, ok, clap some and lets get going" you typically see.
The whole scene was a feel good moment and she absolutely nailed the anthem big time. No question the most memorable performance of it I have ever seen live. Then, to look at the girl singing on the big screen, and then looking down and physically seeing how tiny she was and how she was escorted off to the cheers was just an awesome start to the game.
