Good point. It's not as if I'll attend a concert or any other event with 99% Latinos, then start a one-woman riot if I hear the Spanish "translation" of the anthem. If it's what they prefer, I'll honor it. I just don't forsee the Super Bowl or a presidential inauguration involving the Spanish translation. Heck, I don't think I've been to a Braves game yet where "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is part of the event.
