SAN DIEGO -- A member of a Canadian singing quartet changed a lyric in his countrys national anthem and held up a sign proclaiming All Lives Matter during a pregame performance at the 87th All-Star Game on Tuesday.The Tenors, a group based in British Columbia, caused a stir at Petco Park with Remigio Pereiras actions while singing O Canada.In a statement issued during the game, the group blamed the changes solely on Pereira, who held up the sign and sang the altered lyrics while the other three singers wordlessly harmonized. The band said Pereira wont perform with The Tenors until further notice, calling his actions disrespectful and shameful.The change happened during the middle portion of the anthem, which is often sung in French at sporting events.Pereira unexpectedly sang: Were all brothers and sisters. All lives matter to the great.The normal lyric is With glowing hearts we see thee rise. The True North strong and free.United We Stand was written on the back of his sign.The Tenors are deeply sorry for the disrespectful and misguided lack of judgment by one member of the group acting as a `lone wolf today, the Tenors said in a statement posted on their official Twitter page.The other members of the group are shocked and embarrassed by the actions of Remigio Pereira, who changed the lyrics of our national anthem and used this coveted platform to serve his own political views. Our sincere apologies and regrets go out to everybody who witnessed this shameful act, to our fellow Canadians, to Major League Baseball, to our friends, families, fans and to all those affected. The actions of one member of this group were extremely selfish, and he will not be performing with The Tenors until further notice.Major League Baseball also had no idea Pereira intended to make a political statement, spokesman Matt Bourne said.Although the audio wasnt crystal-clear at the park, many fans reacted with surprise when they saw the sign on the ballpark video scoreboard. The Canadian anthem wasnt shown live on U.S. television, but it aired in Canada, where the decisions lit up social media with overwhelming criticism of the change.The Tenors are Pereira, Clifton Murray, Fraser Walters and Victor Micallef. The Juno Award-winning group has recorded multiple platinum albums in Canada while performing around the world, including gigs at the 2010 Winter Olympics opening ceremonies, the 2012 Queens Jubilee in England and the 2014 Stanley Cup Final.All Lives Matter has become a common online response in recent months to the Black Lives Matter movement, particularly after the police shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.The motivations and ethnicities of the proponents of the All Lives Matter response vary, but it has received heavy criticism. The phrase has been perceived to use reductive reasoning to trivialize the problems specifically facing blacks. Ryan Ramczyk Saints Jersey . White came in fourth place in the event.

Seasoned U.S. national team goalkeeper Tim Howard will make his MLS debut for first-place Colorado when the Rapids host the defending-champion Portland Timbers on Monday at Dicks Sporting Goods Park.Howard has been a part of national team since 2002 and played overseas for several years, before signing with the Rapids this summer.I just want to get out there, Howard said at his introductory press conference. Its what I do, its where Im happiest. The sooner I can get on the field, the better. Its been a long time coming just because of the way the seasons are structured both here in MLS and abroad.The addition of Howard bolsters an already stingy Rapids defense that had surrendered the fewest goals in the league halfway through the season.The Timbers (6-6-5) are in fifth place in the Western Conference standings, nine points behind the first-place Rapids (9-2-5). Both teams are coming off losses in the U.S. Open Cup.Portland is looking for its first road victory of the season. Picking it up at Colorado could spark a second-half run for the Timbers, who made a late push last season and raced through the postseason to the MLS title.ddddddddddddThe Timbers arrive in good form and on a four-game unbeaten streak in MLS play. They overcame a 2-0 deficit to be Houston in their last regular-season match.Portlands offense is bolstered by Fanendo Adi and Valeri. The Timbers are the fifth-highest scoring team in the MLS. But their defense hasnt kept pace. They have conceded 29 goals, the second most in the league.Howard rejoins his former U.S. national team teammate Jermaine Jones, who is one of the Rapids leaders. Jones and forward Luis Solignac are tied for the team high with three goals.The Timbers have won three of the last four meetings with Colorado, with one draw. The two Western Conference contenders will meet twice more this season: on Oct 1 in Colorado and Oct. 16 at Providence Park. ' ' '
