Athletes and National Anthem Rant From Canadian Perspective
A columnist vents about athletes earning large salaries and especially those born in Canada who show little pride by singing O Canada. He criticizes fans and press boxes for not participating in the anthem, notes Winnipeg as an exception, and praises a few players like Peter Mahovlich who tried to sing. He dismisses the idea of loyalty being tied to money and urges national pride.
