Yul Lose Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I didn't hear it sang but I've read about it this morning. A singer on the Tenors group substituted the phrase "All Lives Matter" and a few other words into the Canadian national anthem at the MLB All Star game last night and people are going nuts over it. I guess all lives don't matter to a huge number of people in this country anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 So who's being improperly politically correct? The singer who altered the words to Canada's national anthem? The people "going nuts over it"? How would you feel if the American anthem were modified in such a way? Would it be okay if the last line were changed to "Land of the free, where all lives matter"? I'm not trying to pick a fight. Just looking for honest and respectful dialogue on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Political correctness is blowing this country apart and all you had to do was listen to our presidents address at the memorial service the other day in Dallas to see how. How do you think all of those police officers and their friends and families felt when he said some of the stuff he said? So yes if someone wants to inject All Lives Matter I say more power to them because THEY DO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note, I didn't hear it was the the 3 tenors, but heck, I don't know what those guys look like so maybe it was them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heard on the news that the guy is even getting death threats because of it. Wonder what would happen if Rosanne Barr sang her rendition nowadays like she did one time at a Padres game?

Dapper Dynamite Dick Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 It is MY country's national anthem, personally I found it very offensive. If you want to find a place to push any political agenda find somewhere else to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
