Does it really matter? Personal choice if you don't want to sing, don't.
This 100%.
Surely we’re not so insecure that everyone has to be forced to sing the bloody national anthem? It’s a free country. If the lad doesn’t want to sing it that’s his business and nobody else’s.

Why didn’t Keinhorst sing the national Anthem ? I wouldn’t expect any of the Aussies to sing it, but for a lad that is born in Leeds and has spent 26 years of his life in his home city I find it a little disrespectful.
Agree with that, and personally really dislike it, but 'highly offended' is a step too far and typical of the current day snowflake culture.
Yes it is. The rest of the team are working class lads, Keinhorst would appear to have come from a more middle class background, snowflake territory. A lot of university types seem to be permanently making a point about something.

There may not be a political agenda. I like our national anthem but I wouldn’t necessarily sing along if there was a microphone close by.
Should the Australians in our team have sung the Australian National Anthem? If not why not it`s their country of birth. Would have been funny had they done so though. Probably best to leave national anthems for internationals.

I'm betting they don't play the national anthems of the teams for the final of the football World Club Challenge (given how many countries are represented in most of the top European teams)
