It's the 23rd anniversary of Roseanne's epic troll of everyone that elicited responses from President George H.W. Bush and caused more than 2,000 fans to call the San Diego Padres and complain. It gave a nation with a perpetual stick up its butt a story to act like it gave a crap about. 

But that's what the pre-contest National Anthem means to some people. Belt it out loud and proud and walk away a hero. Or, flub it and find yourself on YouTube as a national disgrace. That's what we bring you today, a compilation of embarrassed singers who blew the lyrics, blew the delivery, or just blew in general.  Here's a list of the Worst National Anthem Performances in Sports History.
