Fox Skips Canadian Anthem at All-Star Game

Fox seems to think that the U.S. anthem is the only one that matters or did they forget that there is a Canadian team in the majors.  I was watching Sportsnet jus prior to the start of the anthems and I decided to switch to the Fox telecast
only to find that they were in the middle of commercials. I checked SN again and O Canada had already started. I switched back to Fox thinking that O Canada would be recorded and shown right after the break. No such luck. WTF
they skipped O Canada and went right to Uncle Sam. How dare they? How would US viewers react if CBC/SN on
a Stanley Cup game went to a commercial break rather than showing the U.S. https://apnews.com/article/f71480dc7d99a8850d5d6b58ec804626

TSN Radio in Vancouver always skipped the American anthem when they had the Canucks.  They'd come back from commercials midway through O Canada.
