Canadian Singers Slip 'All Lives Matter' Message into Anthem at All-Star Game
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/canadian-singers-slip-all-lives-matter-message-anthem-all-star-n608306SAN DIEGO — A Canadian singing quartet changed a lyric in its national anthem and held up a sign proclaiming "All Lives Matter" during its pregame performance at the 87th All-Star Game on Tuesday.
The Tenors, a group based in British Columbia, caused a stir at Petco Park with their unexpected actions while singing "O Canada."
One member of the group held up the sign during the middle portion of the anthem, which is often sung in French at sporting events.
The Tenors instead sang: "We're all brothers and sisters. All lives matter to the great." The normal lyric is "With glowing hearts we see thee rise. The True North strong and free."
An update makes it sound like they kicked the guy with the sign out of the group right after....then why the new lyrics which they all sang?
