As said already, the Americans in Atlanta also booed the Canadian national anthem today.

And the fans in Toronto gave the American national anthem a huge standing ovation at tonight's Toronto vs Buffalo game.

I've had about three instances of it at Vancouver Canucks games. It's not rare.

Yep.. I noticed that as well. Very respectful. But, stuff like this does not get reported, only the booing, lol.

Nah, they reported that tonight the Canadien's fans cheered and such. It was on espn.com. Of course that's after all the bad press they got, but whatever.

It also happened at an Islanders/Leafs game, last year in the playoffs I think (or maybe it was earlier this year I dunno). But either way, it's still immature to boo an anthem, no matter what country it's from.

You know whats funny though... like in Atlanta when the Canadian anthem gets booed.. I dont think the people who were booing rit realized that there are a lot of Canadian people on the Thrashers' team... so thats basically insulting their own players.

ah, those Crazy Quebecers (that booed)...maybe it's because they're frenchmen, and the US and french have had differences lately?...booing occurs. Really stupid and unrespectful. Thankfully the fans in Toronto had the class to clap during the US anthem...

Crash, what's with your subject title? Watch it with the generalization...

Heh heh...crap like that is bound to happen...no big deal...

But about the soda pop thing...I think that varies by the area of the US you live in...because here in the Midwest, we often call soda ''Pop'' I do all the time.

Just for the record, I've lived in Canda and I like Candians. I just HATE French Canadians like those that live in Montreal and Quebec. They're arrogant pricks. Sorry, but they are, and a lot of Canadians I talked to agreed with me.

Joeiss · 03-23-2003, 06:05 PM

On the note of anthems, do you guys take your hat off if you are wearing one? I was at the Raptor game the other day, and me and my friend were like the only ones who took our hats off and held them to our bosom (

) It was weird.

I could not agree with you more. Quebecors have always had different thoughts and feelings than the rest of Canada, like in WWII and how Quebec wanted to seperate from Canada a couple of years back.

Well your supposed to take your hat off when the anthem is played. I know I do and everyone around me does when I go to a baseball game. The people who did not take their hat's off were probably French Canadians.

LOL. I just saw a clip of it. It wasn't as if the WHOLE crowd was booing. It was just some people. And of course, since these select people were booing the American anthem, all of us Canadians are ignorant, right crash?

Actually it's your fault

It is my fault that a select few people booed the American National anthem?

That is comical.
