Why do American sports always play the national anthem before games? Is it supposed to fire up players which include foreigners?

I dont understand the point of bringing someone to sing the anthem, most of the renditions are corny as fuck. Just play the music and let everyone sing like rest of the world does.

I can understand it, it's a form of loyalty programming. There's literally no other reason for it to be bursted out at a every sporting event in the country otherwise
