It is proper for fans players to remove hats, caps and helmets (if possible) during the national anthem as a sign of respect.
because they are not cool enough
it is so that they respect their country and the people who died in the independence war. hope it helps. - :)
Traditionally when people hear their national anthem being played at an even they stand and refrain from making any noise. Some also choose to place their right hand over their heart as an additional sign of respect.
In the UK everyone except the monarch should stand, unless unable to do so In the US , everybody stands during the National Anthem, including the President [as we are not singing God Save the Queen , or King , as they case may be ] and of course , as above , those not able to stand. Men should also remove their hats, and we used to all place our right hand over our hearts, rho I see many people do not do so these days. I do not know if this is due to lack of respect , or not having been properly taught.

No. A band need not turn to face the flag nor do they need to remove their hats or other parts of uniform. They are playing the Alma Mater and National Anthem facing the Home Stands (mostly) so there fore, it is appropriate for the band to not face the flag.

the star spangled banner was played in an italian festival -street scene----no one took hats off the national anthem was not used as such until 1931.
It would be illogical to assume every person in the entire world wore hats during the 1920's. A lot of people did probably wear hats during this time period, but there are always black sheep.
The Secretary of the Interior and the National Park Service have that responsibility.
Without hats, people will get hot in the sun. Some hats can shade you.
No, soccer players are not allowed to wear hats during matches.
