The Baltimore Ravens have announced who will be singing the National Anthem on Sunday's game against the Pittsburg Steelers.
Sunday’s game will be the first since Ravens players joined the rest of the NFL last weekend in kneeling and linking arms during the Star Spangled Banner, protesting President Trump’s comments regarding his view that players should be fired if they don’t stand for the anthem.
