Football, the All-American game:
Want to sing the national anthem at a Temple University home football game? The gig’s for sale.
Temple requires a group or soloist to sell a certain number of tickets to the game in order to perform.
Next on the bill: Unionville High School’s chorale. About 50 members of the Kennett Square group will belt out “Oh, say, can you see” at the Nov. 21 game against Memphis at Lincoln Financial Field.
Price tag? 100 tickets at $15 a pop.
If you pay enough, you get to high-five the team in the tunnel. Follow the link for a list of prices.
According to the story, Temple is not alone in this practice. After all, what’s more All-American than making everything all about money all the time.
