    Tool tenor going all lone wolf at the MLB allstar game with O Canada.

    Nice surprise for the other three tenors as Dick butchers the national anthem without their knowledge.

    I was at an Argo game years ago when a guy sang part of the rarely if ever heard second or third stanza to O Canada. No one had a clue what was going on but at least it was part of the anthem. He didn't get a great reception. Nine out of Ten people who sing O Canada butcher it these days sounding like country singers singing Ho Canada. However to change lines, what a DICK!!!

    I don't care about the butchering of an anthem, as I really believe they have no place at pro sporting events anyway. It was his ridiculous agenda that bothered me.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    He was the lone American in the group, so I guess he had a point to make at our anthem's expense. The U.S. is getting more f'd up every week.
    The Canadian national anthem's wording has changed 7 times since it's inception.

    Too many microbrews popping up.

    To go even further about Angelo's point, when and why did it become so important to take off a hat at games during the anthem? I guess it's another American thing that Canadian's started to follow. We never did this in the 70's or 80's and most likely most of the 90's. Wearing a hat or not doesn't mean you disrespect Canada.

    I find it interesting that you when you watch CFL games from the 1970s, the players have their helmets on during the anthem. This seemed to change in the 1980s but I don't know why.
