Why Did the Bills Play O Canada Before the Lions Game? Here's the Answer

Problem is she asked with a stance of being offended, instead of opening Google.

Also Detroit and Canada are 5 mins apart so we have a lot of Canadians that come to our football games.

She's full of it. She wasn't asking because she was genuinely curious. You can hear it in her voice, she was asking as obnoxiously as possible.

Baby she was being condescending. She doesn’t actually give a shit about the why from an inquisitive nature. She was asking because she’s a dick

Look at the tone she uses, the body language with the eye movement. Talking about "what's that gotta do with Canada." There was clear connotation with her tone and her line of questioning. The internet received it and gave back the same energy. Now you play victim. Fuck outta it.

Apparently something that doesn’t matter has agitated her pea brain. By the way, O Canada was played tonight in multiple NHL games here in the states.

Probably saw sabres fans do this in the playoffs and realized we have a lot of Canadian fans in buffalo

Also Detroit is only 1/2 mile away from Canada.

I feel the way she was asking it was like a why are they singing the Canadian national anthem in America this is America they should be singing the American national anthem she knew what she was saying and only backtracked because the hate she was getting online

Wait, she's right though. I was expecting some deep cultural/historic reason but its just because Canadians from Toronto support the most local US team?

It’s called American Football.

1st thing i done when i saw the story was look it up!! Imm Scottish and even I know Detroit and Buffalo both border Canada do people not realise it's not what you say it's the way that you say it, she was being facetious

It’s basically the West Windsor Lions vs. the East Fort Erie Bills

“It’s not WHAT you said, it’s HOW you said it.” -Salma Hayek, Grown Ups Realistically, EVERYONE should’ve been offended at how awful Barenaked Ladies sounded, though.

Wait until she finds out how many people come from Windsor to Detroit games, & the only thing they have to do is cross a bridge!

Well maybe go to Buffalo so you can see how close Canada is and how many people come across the bridge

Coming from a hockey family, we always knew both the American anthem, and the Canadian anthem.

Bills AND Lions have large Canadian fan bases. The Seahawks & Bills have international cross-border marketing rights w/ their close proximity Canadian provinces. But the Chiefs, Packers, Pats, & Cowboys are also popular. Weird how this was always an afterthought until Trump.

Hey papaw she didn’t google it first because googling would have created content for her page which is all people want these days including you. In making that video she got two videos with tones of interaction which is all she wants is the attention. Googling wouldn’t do that

What’s wrong with respectful personal interaction. You totally miss the point. Ask questions, answer questions, be respectful in personal interaction. That’s what you should be preaching. Respectfully.

i've been in Buffalo and i come from a town in central Scotland she makes it sound like it's another planet 🪐

Nah dude I call BS!! Internet is so full of misinformation you can't trust everything online! You just want to pick on these girls, I see your schtick..

There are also 28 Canadian players in the NFL, 3 in Buffalo and one in Detroit. It was touching that they played O Canada.

I love that people do not want people to ask them questions. They want them to Google and hope they find the correct answer. Google can be wrong, especially with AI slop answers

12% of the season ticket holders are Canadian

Thank You Tom! Voice of reason. Buffalo NY here & have Canadian fans for @BuffaloBills @BuffaloSabres for games. #billsmafia 🦬 &WNY city of good neighbors we love are canadian friends to the north. @buffalosabres fans also sang Canadian Anthem & US anthem

And Detroit is way closer to Ontario Canada than that, but this isn't done in Detroit. So this example doesn't make any sense whatsoever. A better explanation is that this is our team and we have just decided to do it because we want to

Tell me that she didn't study geography in class or did they teach that in Louisiana

I did this exact thing when the Sabres and or the Red Wings were playing a playoff game in the NHL this past season. I googled it, I did the research. Got my answer in seconds. It’s a generational lapse with people like her. Getting your answers in the comment section is stupid.

Wait til she finds out Detroit literally sits on the Canadian border too…

Take us through the thought process of you deciding to make a video of a young lady not Googling something.

She’s right. It’s just stupid.

Why the fuck do we play any anthem at an NFL game? That shit is stupid.

So, she’s now cool with singing the Canadian anthem and will sing it around her house because she just learned the Bills have a lot of Canadian fans. …but Lift Every Voice, a song for Americans, well she hates that because it’s for black Americans
