Tonight’s MLB All-Star Game got off to a controversial start when when the Canadian group “The Tenors’ changed the lyrics to the Canadian National Anthem to support All Lives Matter during their performance.

One of the Tenors also held up a card that read “All signs matter” afterwards.

Many Canadians took to Twitter to blast the Tenors for bringing politics into the singing of the anthem.
Just heard the Canadian anthem from tonight. That was awful, I'm sorry. Do not bring politics and stuff into it. It's not the time or place

And apparently the Canadian anthem was butchered with politics. We're off to a rollicking start. #AllStarGame
