Meanwhile, Generald Wilson sang the national anthem at Kansas City Chiefs vs Cincinnati Bengals AFC title game at Arrowhead Stadium.
Wilson is a retired Navy Petty officer first class, as described by the announcer before the start of the NFL game. He last sang The Star-Spangled Banner during an NFL game in September when the Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers at home.
“For that minute and a half, you’re putting away your differences and you’re singing a song together with the person sitting next to you; the person way across the field or the court,” Wilson said after it was announced that he will be singing the national anthem ahead of the AFC Championship game on Sunday.
“And that minute and a half, you’re coming together because you love this country. And then the excitement is to sing a song that’s close to the original as possible, but still gives you that flavor!” he added.
