CTVNews: SAN DIEGO — The Tenors changed some of the lyrics of O Canada as they made a political statement while singing the national anthem at Tuesday night’s MLB all-star game.
The group based in British Columbia changed a line of the anthem during their on-field performance at Petco Park to “We’re all brothers and sisters, all lives matter to the great.”
One member of the four-man group held up a sign saying “All Lives Matter” while singing the altered lyrics. The words “United We Stand” were written on the back of the sign. more
Good intentions, I’m sure, but don’t go messing with the lyrics to your National Anthem. Or mine.
Faddish pandering. How crass.
Pandering Canucks looking to get some gay mansex.
Yes the intentions may have been good (as said earlier), but really stupid decision to change your national anthem.
The Hosers are as dumb as the Germans, EH
Oh c’mon! All the bitching you people do about BLM and this guy sticks his neck out to say all lives matter to hostile Canadian progressive twinks, and you throw him under the bus?
At least the group suspended this dick however I suspect the suspension will last only as long as it is to the next gig. With luck maybe a few of those gigs will be cancelled and they can go back to their waiter jobs. Do not mess with my Anthem, the damn Liberal Party is doing that already.
@geofraz: Nobody said the guy’s beliefs were wrong, just that he chose the wrong way to express them. Would it have been better if he had scrawled “#AllLivesMatter” in big black letters on the Canadian flag? He might as well have, and I don’t think he would have made any friends by doing that, either.
Just sayin’.
Guerrilla Activism is crass and stupid
So is activism by people
