‘For My Country’: Oliver Anthony Rejects A Whopping $2 Million Paycheck To Sing National Anthem At Super Bowl

The Super Bowl will, of course, move forward, with another artist belting out the anthem. But years from now, when folks reminisce about the event, it’s not the touchdowns or halftime show they’ll be discussing. Instead, it’ll be that one time Oliver Anthony, the man who sang about the “Rich Men North of Richmond,” turned down $2 million, and in doing so, scored the most significant touchdown of them all. Whether it’s a win for genuine patriotism or a masterclass in marketing will be for history to decide.
