Once again FOX displays its disrespect for Canada
Someone explain to me why they refused, yet again this year, to show the playing of the Canadian National Anthem before the start of MLB All-Star game.

I know this may sound petty, but there is a Major League Baseball franchise in Toronto.

If FOX broadcast the Olympics, they would never show the medal ceremony/anthem of a non-American winning athlete. I'm convinced.

2. Right. It sounds petty because it IS petty.
And that doesn't diminish its import.
