Nickleback Over Come this You Canadians.

What's more American than Football on Thanksgiving? how about a Canadian band ( Nickelback) playing in the Detroit Lions Half time show. Yea that sounds pretty American to me. The band was boo-ed on stage after an online petition of 75,000 fans called for them to not play. The petition was ousted, United Way director of publicity Sal Fabens stated

"In one way, the fact that some 75,000 fans have signed an online petition calling for the band's ouster is fitting, since the theme of the United Way's halftime performance is "Live United." "This is a call to action, an invitation for everyone to join us, regardless of their stance on various issues, to move forward on creating opportunities for a better life for all," he wrote. "

Really? Your gonna say if 75,000 people don't want a band to perform, you call their performance an act of over coming adversity! Wow!

If you really want to hate those Canadians more here is a video of Nickleback firing back at the NFL Petition. Blame Canada!!!
