I just happened to be scrolling through Twitter while I was uploading today’s episode of TheRalphRetort Rundown when I saw this story…

The Tenors say member Remigio Pereira will no longer perform with the Canadian vocal quartet until further notice, blaming him for altering the O Canada lyrics at the MLB all-star game on Tuesday by including the phrase “all lives matter.”

The Tenors, a group based in British Columbia, blamed Pereira for changing the lyrics in the national anthem during their on-field performance at Petco Park while he held up a sign reading “All Lives Matter.”

Here’s the video (the #AllLivesMatter part comes around 17 seconds in):

I’m happy to see someone speaking out against #BlackLivesMatter, but apparently his singing partners weren’t quite as excited to see this…

Of course, some have speculated that it might just be the rest of them trying to cover their ass after catching heat from somewhere, but we really can’t say. Whenever Mr. Pereira gets interviewed I’m sure we’ll learn more. I tend to think maybe he did do it on his own and it was pretty brave when you think about it. I’ve already seen people dragging him through the mud on social media, which is just how it goes for almost anyone. But I’ll be interested to see and hear from the man himself as more comes out.
