How could this happen??? I feel like we've (country as a whole) all let ignorance just get by, hence, Trump supporters.

That sounds more like an accident than ignorance. I'm pretty on top of things but I wouldn't be able to identify any German anthem.

I feel this is more about the Fed Cup error than the US.

Also it says they sang a long banned version and not the wrong song or something. Wouldn't the German singer know that shit too?

I guess, IMO, if the situation was vice-versa, we (again, the country) would be outraged.

Again, stop making blanket statements.

It's tennis. It's a big deal as it is team play - international teams compete over the course of the year.

I wouldn't hang Petkovic for her words. English would not be her first language and it would be difficult to express your feelings accurately in a second language especially when put on the spot during an interview.
