Yep, I knew we would piss off the patriotic ones from TN, Texas or some other state.
I would never boo another nations anthem, that's too far for me to go. This is obviously a response to what the citizens of Ottawa did a few days ago. Canadians never see the forest through the trees.
For the polite people of Nashville to do this, people far more polite than the average broke citizen in Ontario; this is startling.
Canadian national anthem booed before Ottawa Senators, Nashville Predators hockey game
American hockey fans in Nashville put their country on the board in the anthem booing contest that’s been an unexpected fallout of recent U.S.-Canada trade tensions.
Though it wasn’t as long or as loud as some of the jeers audible amidst the din of applause and cheers during the singing of the U.S. national anthem at four previous sporting events in Canada — three NHL matches and one NBA game on Saturday and Sunday — a healthy congregation of boos could be heard as ‘O Canada’ began Monday night at Bridgestone Arena in the Tennessee capital.
They lasted only a few seconds before the crowd fell silent for the remainder of elementary school teacher Cathy Mullins’ performance and there were more cheers than not at the end. Country star Luke Bryan went on to perform ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ and was cheered lustily by the country-crazy Nashville crowd.
