Why did they not sing the Canadian national anthem at the race at Michigan today?

Question

They always used to sing it because they are so close to the border. Why not today? I think that was slightly disrespectful considering many people cross the border to see the race.

Answer 1

They did sing Oh Canada, I heard in on MRN, they didn't show it on TV..I always have MRN on the pre race show on Sirius radio.

Answer 2

I guarantee that they did and just did not show it.  I have never been to MIS and not heard it(and I have been to many different events over many years- I am from MI).

I personally think that they shouldn't broadcast it.  Most Americans could not care and since they have to fit in so many commercials, I'd rather them cut out a foreign anthem (no offense) than some racing.  If the race was actually IN Canada, then I'd have a different opinion.  But, it is not.

Answer 3

Because CANADA sucks

Answer 4

I was there, and an a capella chorus sang it, and I sang along proudly!

There were a lot of Canadians there- I met one guy from British Columbia!

Answer 5

just glad i didn't have to hear it

Answer 6

Just because they didn't broadcast it doesn't mean they didn't do it. There are lots of things that happen at the racetrack that TV viewers never see.
