I Am A Flaming Douche Bag Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 The Canadian anthem should be sung no matter what. Canadians are involved in the game of baseball and we are the closest nation to the Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a nice feeling to see folks put something above money these days, even if it's at the expense of Canadains... [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

HedleyLamarr Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 The Canadian anthem should be sung no matter what. Canadians are involved in the game of baseball and we are the closest nation to the Americans.There are Mexicans involved in the game of baseball, and are as close to the US as Canada.

DEAD! Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 What will Fox do if they have an ASG at Rogers Centre?.. simple... they will give up the MLB rights by then.... I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Actually, up here in Canada, the feed on Rogers Sportsnet did show the playing of the Canadian national anthem by members of the San Francisco Symphony ? very classy, certainly better than Bryan Adams' rendition at the 96 NHL ASG in Vancouver. You all just aren't watching the right channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zer0dotcom Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Why should the Canadian Anthem be sung at the ASG of America's Pastime? Canadians don't care about baseball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJMorris3 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Why should the Canadian Anthem be sung at the ASG of America's Pastime? Canadians don't care about baseball...So long as the Toronto Blue Jays are a member of Major League Baseball, it ought be sung. Should we later get an MLB team in Monterrey, Mexico, then the Mexican national anthem should be done as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMMF Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 What really should happen is the stopping of singing of anthems before every god damned game. Jesus, what a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budbowl77 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I've been to a ton of hockey games up north in Canada and they always play the star spangled banner..it's the least we could do down here in the USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harperdc Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 What really should happen is the stopping of singing of anthems before every god damned game. Jesus, what a waste of time.you know, Bill Plaschke had a good point on Around The Horn last week. Yeah, I know, I was shocked too.his point is this: sports is the only arena where one regularly hears the national anthem in America. While I'm not an uber-patriot, taking a glance up at the flag and remembering the star-spangled banner, all as one small little prayer to be thankful that I'm in the United States, that I have my way of life, freedoms, and that there are people protecting me and those rights, both here and abroad (whether in military uniform, police wear, fireman's gear, weary journalists pouring through stacks of research, lawyers bringing just cases to trial, teachers doing the best work possible, doctors keeping us healthy)...yeah, I think I can take the minute and a half to remember that before a sporting event.and I don't even mind "O Canada" either.

But it's still pointless. It becomes rote after awhile. Would you stand and say the pledge of allegiance before a game? Why not? Saying the words of the anthem to music no more guarantees anything that was mentioned than not saying them. Do you really need a song to be a reminder of those things? If one does need a song to be a reminder of those things, perhaps he should sing the anthem when he wakes up as opposed to waiting until he has a ticket to a sporting event. Because if it really means something, you should be hearing it every day.I guess what it all boils down to, at least for me, is that people do things because they don't like to upset the status quo. Anthems have always been sung therefore they will continue to be sung. And really, that's silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Clemente Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I've been to a ton of hockey games up north in Canada and they always play the star spangled banner..it's the least we could do down here in the USAIn all honesty, they only play the Star-Spangled Banner in Canada if the visiting team is American. If it's between two Canadian teams, it's only O Canada.--Roger "Time?" Clemente. Follow me on Twitter if you care: @Animal_Clans.My opinion may or may not be the same as yours.

winghaz Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I love to go to Blue Jays-Twins games at the Metrodome just so I can sing "O Canada". It's a fantastic national anthem.I'm very involved in the Lions club, and we sing it at our mutliple district conventions (our multiple district is made up of North Dakota, South Dakota and Saskatchewan). I think we Americans sing "O Canada" just as loud and proud as Canadians at those conventions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's between two Canadian teams, it's only O Canada.--Roger "Time?" Clemente.This is true... and as someone who went to almost all of them, I can assure you that they only played O Canada before Expos/Blue Jays games (not sure what they did in Puerto Rico)The rule of thumb is, sing the anthems of the teams playing (I believe the Sabres do both anthems regardless of who's playing)My preference, sing the host team anthem if you must sing one at all, and be done with it -- no need to have a couple idiot fans booing the other anthem and making everyone look bad. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it doesn't hurt that you can see Canada from the Arena. I think the Red Wings do this also, but I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
