Rejected petition The England National Team to Replace the use of 'God Save The Queen' as National Anthem

More details

'God Save The Queen' is an anthem of Great Britain, and thus used in sporting events under the Union Jack. It is also used by the English football and rugby teams, which seems wrong to me.

Can we have this anthem removed from England's sporting use and retained exclusively for use under the Union Jack and replaced by either Jerusalem or Land of Hope & Glory.

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

For the relevant sporting authority to decide, not the government.
