The tension is rising just before the rematch of last year's Copa America final. Argentina and Chile are on the field and the crowd is ready and the players are ready and here comes the national anthem of Chile and everybody's very proud of their country and singing along and—
MR. WORLDWIDE.
OK, that's weird, but no matter we'll just keep singing nice things about Chile and everything will go back to normal—
I SET THE WORLD ON FIRE.
Oh for f***'s sake. The Copa America messed up another national anthem, this time by cutting off Chile's in the middle and immediately following it with the sweet sounds of contemporary annoying hit-making person Pitbull.
#CopaAmerica ¡Otro papelón! Mirá el momento en el que se filtró una canción de Pitbull en el himno de Chile.https://t.co/fBRg6PAikq

We're not totally familiar with the lyrics to the Chilean naitonal anthem, but we're pretty sure they don't include the word "Dale."
C'mon, y'all. Why not just take an extra minute and finish Chile's anthem? Is it that hard to show some people who are visiting the USA from a different country the respect they deserve?
