To: ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY
Music before the game, National Anthem and halftime were , as per usual, lousy and pathetic.

Why is it that no other country in the world has singers try to personalize their national anthems the way singers in this country mutilate our National Anthem?

Ever hear a game between Toronto and a US baseball team?

"Oh, Canada" is sung EXACTLY the way it was written and intended. Then they get to the "Star Spangled Banner" and it's "OH-whoa, whoa, whoa, saaaa-haaay can youu-who-who-uuuu seeeee?"

Thank God for the remote and the mute.

I remember usually they start singing it in English, then the middle in French, then back to English at the end.
