Tenor holds up 'All Lives Matter' card, changes Canadian anthem

A tenor at the All-Star Game holds up a political sign. Chelsea Janes on Twitter

The Tenors, a group of tenors singing the Canadian anthem at the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday in San Diego, thought the moment was a great time to make a tone-deaf political statement. For some reason, one of the tenors (seen on the far left) decided to hold up an “All Lives Matter” sign during the performance.

    LOL well I don't think so but his buddies (the rest of the PAID group) didn't know about it.  They were paid to sing the Canadian Anthem.  You don't change the words to a National Anthem, it is disrespectful.   I think it would have been better had he tried a different venue.

    He just pissed everyone off.   I highly doubt that any lives are going to matter any more or less because he wanted to grand stand like this.  

    Are you going to continue on with your life, changed for the better because of this message?    Have you been inspired by this?  I have not.  All I see is a show off.

    No, but I'm sick of having political crap thrown into everything.  His message is correct but save that stuff for Twitter.  That's the perfect place since I don't go over there.  :)
