That would be the Open of Australia though.

This is supposedly the World Series of Poker, hence his point.

I'm an Australian and I think it's innappropriate for Waltzing Matilda to be played, even if it is 'The Australian Open' and it's not our anthem.

I think it is HIGHLY INNAPPROPRIATE for any anthem to be played at a 'world' event. And comments like "DEAL WITH IT" and "kick your teeth in" just add to the reasons why Americans are viewed so poorly overseas.

How would you feel if Joe had demanded the Australian Anthem after his win. Probably the same way all the international players felt when the American Anthem was being played.

BTW. World Series of Baseball. What the...two countries hardly qualifies.
