Former US national men's soccer team coach Bruce Arena has questioned whether the"The Star-Spangled Banner" -- the American national anthem -- should be played at professional sporting events in the States.
Speaking to ESPN's Taylor Twellman, Arena said,"I think it puts people in awkward positions.

"So why are we playing the national anthem? With all due respect, I live in the greatest country in the world but I think it's inappropriate."Arena says playing the national anthem at domestic sporting events is"inappropriate".
