Ex.1 orioles vs. blue jays at baltimore. is the anthem (canada) played?

Ex.2 orioles vs. blue jays at toronto. is the anthem (canada) played?

Ex.3 orioles vs. blue jays at toronto is the anthem (american) played?

or do they play both anthems whenever the blue jays/other toronto teams are involved to avoid controversy?

and do the players on the blue jays "salute" the canadian flag when they are mostly american? how do the american players deal with being on a team that is based in a different country when "allegience" example: anthems is involved?

  1. In all 3 Examples, both the Oh Canada and the Star Spangled Banner would be played... The visitors team's anthem is played first...

    And American players deal with being on team based in a different country because they're still getting paid... And it's the opposite for hockey... All but a handful of the teams are in the US, but 66% of the players in the league are Canadians...


  2. they always play both anthems

  3. Whenever the blue jays play whether it's at home or away they play both anthems.

  4. sorry this is canadian football first off

    now the first is yes before the they play the american

    the second is yes after the american which answers the third as well

    and no one salutes in canada like lets be real

  5. First ... The Blue Jays are a baseball team.  You have posted this question in the Canadian Football category.

    Regardless of the venue of where the game is played, and this applies to all sports, if a Canadian team is involved, both the American and Canadian national anthems are played.

    If the two teams are from Canada, only O Canada is played.  Likewise, if both teams are American based, only the Star Spangled Banner is played.

    Typically, players do not salute during the anthems.  They'll just stand at attention.  I dont think there is anything to "deal with" when an American-born player signs to play for a team in Canada.  They know (or should expect) that it comes with the territory of having the Canadian anthem played.  

    Getting paid millions of dollars a year, I can't think of one who complained that he had to listen to another country's anthem

    ... I can't believe I just answered this dumb question... oh well, 2 points for me

  6. Ya

  7. DO you even watch the sport ? They play both anthems wherever they go ...!! Mostly American players on the team ....well what about when you watch hockey ?? Their is mostly Candians on your American teams so why do you play the American national anthem ?? Sorry to say it's questions like this that stereotype all americans to be not the smartest cookies in the cookie jar .

  8. Of course they play the canadian anthem.
