El Salvador participated in a friendly today against Argentina at FedEx Field, home of the Washington Redskins, a team mostly known for its bad football and insensitive team name (this will come in handy later). When it came time for El Salvador's national anthem to played, a song came on that its players didn't recognize. They began to look around, confused, and eventually dropped their hands from over their hearts. Was this some sort of statement against El Salvador's government? Is a revolution afoot?
Oh. Nope. FedEx Field just played Kazakhstan's national anthem instead. Because when it comes to insensitivity, or playing a national anthem that sounds nothing like the one that is actually supposed to be played, the Washington Redskins are king.
