It seems incredibly inappropriate for a supposedly international event

WFT? If you come here to play, you should be mature enough to listen to "our" anthem. If I went to anouther country to play cards I would sit and listen, not get upset. I can't tell if you are joking about this or not. pisses me off either way. How do you block people on here?

found this:

Summary
1970 was the first year that the World Series of Poker was held. Unlike the WSOP events which followed it which are decided using a freeze-out tournament, the 1970 champion was decided by voting. Jack Binion invited the best seven poker players in America to his casino in Las Vegas to decide whom Americas best poker player was. Johnny Moss was voted the best in the world

So Poker, hambergers, baseball and whatever else might not be american, but the WSOP is.
