Who is Navy Veteran Generald Wilson?
Wilson has been singing for professional sports teams for over 20 years. He kicked off the Chiefs’ home opener last September when the team defeated the Los Angeles Chargers.
“For that minute and a half, you’re putting away your differences and you’re singing a song together with the person sitting next to you; the person way across the field or the court,” Wilson said.
“And that minute and a half, you’re coming together because you love this country. And then the excitement is to sing a song that’s close to the original as possible, but still give you that flavor!”
