Karina Pasian was tapped to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the NFL’s first-ever regular-season game in Madrid, Spain, between the Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders.
Pasian came out to the field in a black mini dress with thigh-high stockings and garters to sing the national anthem. While her performance went well, fans were upset with her outfit as she was singing.
Many NFL fans got caught up in a frenzied debate on social media.
Regardless, Pasian ignored the critics and wrote on Instagram about how proud she was to have the opportunity to sing the anthem in front of thousands of people in Spain.
