We in Toronto Canada always play both national anthems at all NBA and NHL games whenever an American team is involved. The All Star game probably has some Canadian players mixed in there like Steve Nash who has won MVP in the NBA for the last 2 years.

O Canada is achieved by using fact Buffalo is so on the element of canada and the determine it is appropriate to honor all the Canadians in the sport. They dod htat at each and every buffalo living house pastime. comparable with usa the captivating extremely. each and every buffalo living house pastime... the element is, there's a particularly super team in the U. S. that hates the super call spangled banner. The music includes imperialistic references ("the onward we could if our reason it is in easy terms/ and this be or motto in god is our have confidence") and that extremely runs counter to the announcement of independence and the form- freedom for all and non secular separation. Plus the whole music is a occasion of conflict. So human beings desire to alter the anthem- to usa the captivating (individually, i think of this land is your land could be super besides) What the Sabres are doing is extremely incredibly political, yet being in ny i think of maximum each and every person helps them- i don't comprehend the situation the two, could've been a public call for sorta element too. So the why they try this anthems is, in my opinion, stylish and intensely cool.

Because Toronto has a team. If a city in Mexico had a team they would sing their national anthem.

I'm guessing there is at least one player from the Raptors participating in All-Star Weekend.
