Offending the Black Lives Matter is a good thing, but making a political statement here was highly inappropriate.

Statement from The Tenors regarding the Canadian National Anthem at the MLB All Star Game
Posted on July 12, 2016

The Tenors are deeply sorry for the disrespectful and misguided lack of judgment by one member of the group acting as a 'lone wolf' today during the singing of the Canadian national anthem at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in San Diego.

The other members of the group are shocked and embarrassed by the actions of Remigio Pereira, who changed the lyrics of our treasured anthem and used this coveted platform to serve his own political views.

Our sincere apologies and regrets go out to everybody who witnessed this shameful act, to our fellow Canadians, to Major League Baseball, to our friends, families, fans and to all those affected.

The actions of one member of this group were extremely selfish and he will not be performing with The Tenors until further notice.

[the truth]

imo they should cut him from the group permanently

[Ken7]

I can not believe he is Canadian. A True Canadian would not consider changing the National Anthem. That falls short of burning our flag in my opinion.

It just should not be done and the recent change of the lyrics was extremely disappointing to me as a Canadian.

This part here does not speak well for the group on a whole. They should have immediately cut all ties with this guy and rid their group of him. One could take from this lack of severing all ties to this guy that the group themselves knew of this a head of time and he is temperately being used as the fall guy, that in time will be welcomed back by the rest with open arms. Maybe the whole group was behind this change and are now just trying to do damage control with all their public apologies.
If it was in fact the action of just one why not do the right thing and permanently get rid of him now instead of leaving the door open to him possibly returning to the group at some point down the road.?

When I first heard this story I was really irritated and I think what he did was inappropriate. However, I do agree with his statement that all lives matter, not just black lives. Now I see that the Black Lives Matter movement is stirring up divisiveness in Canada - demanding that a police force in Canada not enter a float in a Gay Pride parade. Now that really pisses me off.

Both actions were wrong.

Or they are checking and double-checking their contract before bouncing him to the curb.

Or they are checking and double-checking their contract before bouncing him to the curb.

Or their waiting for the smoke to clear as it usually does after matters like this and then they will simply accept him back and carry on hoping everyone has forgotten or forgives.
