Boooooo

Was his name Steve S.? No wait, too revealing, was it S. Simmons?

‘Toronto sports media guy’… say no more. Boo away if you want.

The national anthem should be beeped like you would a curse word.

Sports media guy needs to put down the stats to take a peek at the news.

Didn't see either of them but I'm not surprised. There's this weird idea that sports should somehow be above politics. Everything is political, sorry boys. You can still shoot your pucks but people are going to boo the anthem

I've lost interest in baseball after a lifelong love affair. As a kid and adult now retired. Players striking The Houston Astros cheating and no discernible repercussions. The game is played by a clock and pitch clock. The soul of the game was that it could last for hours. It's sterile.

There’s something that happens to your brain when you see how much more popular you become as you get closer to the athletes. They make you pay for that access with your dignity. So you overcompensate (the suits, the hair), the Instagram posts that hint at wealth, gate keeping hockey.

They’re such sycophants. That’s hockey “reporting” for you.

I’m American and I say boo, and boo loudly. Americans know that the booing is at MAGA fools. Those of us that are trying to defend our democracy are not upset by the booing.

As an American and a hockey fan, I sincerely welcome your boos. Boo away! I might even join you. (I already always sing along to Oh Canada when we play Canadian teams at home)

Trump destroys everything he touches. The CANADA- USA friendship is over, they are merely our neighbours now. Trump burned that bridge by threatening us with the unthinkable ….

It is our Canadian right and responsibility to protest against the tyranny and oppression which has clearly overtaken what used to be a democratic country. Boo the USA and its Fascist leadership at every opportunity. Boooooooo trump.

America deserves the boos! If we get out of this shit, please clap!

We deserve every boo we get! What President Musk and his lapdog Trump is doing is unconscionable!

Idiot, if he wants them to be polite this isn't the time buddy! Hmm, but then again. It's hockey! ok, maybe tennis but not Hocky

People who buy the tickets can boo if they want to. As for some sports media guy getting all uppity about the booing, we didn’t start this fight with Mango Mussolini. This is sports media guy’s “shut up and dribble” moment.

American opinion here. Boo away! We are. We’re protesting and boycotting and flying our flags upside down in distress. When our good & kind Canadian friends boo us, it’s showing the world something is seriously wrong. Screw “sportsmanship” right now. Nazis are taking us over!

Boo louder, Canada! I support your hate of all things Trump and America.

This makes me very sad good neighbor.😔 All of the US doesn't deserve boos, though the whole world will probably be hating us soon. We're losing all of our friends on the playground.😔But most of us love our neighbors to the North. Save your boos for Felon47, Evil Musk & the rest of the MAGA Cult.

No idea. It would be very funny to force that move during an international tournament

This is not a typical Canadian thing to do. It’s not a reflection of the players on the opposing team. It’s our FAFO. It speaks volumes. It shows our unity. We too are feeling the ripple effect. We are not violent, we are not pulling out guns. If this is how we support each other, I’m good with that

Keep politics out of sports

I'm American. Boo away, baby!

As an American, I say "boo" as much as possible. Until we rid ourselves of this neo-nazi administration, we cannot expect the world to respect our flag when our own President shits on it everyday. ❤️ Canada.

Fair.

Beauty! This is spot-on, eh?

Hilarious😂

Do you think I'm against the booing? Because I want to be very clear, I like the booing

As an American who grew up near the Canadien border and traveled there , played hockey there, vacationed there and ate there I was very pleased they booed our anthem. So how do MAGA hockey Americans feel now seeing this ? Most are not capable of shame but should be.

Sports media cling to the belief that sports isn’t about politics. Meanwhile pro-Trump Sports oligarchs are robbing sports enthusiasts blind.

YES SI and all other country’s version of saying yes

Maybe a MapleMagat?

Me too, & I'm an American.

I’m American & I fully support Canadians booing us.

stupid

Sports have always been political. Also, I don't think anyone booing thinks it's a solution. It's an expression of discontent. Given current realities, I really don't care about any notions of sportsmanship or decorum that are making people clutch their pearls

No but I heard Mr fill-time-between-commercials-and-game-time shares the opinion

Maybe just stop going instead?

Typical social media response. I never insinuated anyone was forced to sing anything. Just that I’m sure it feels like an honor to be given the chance to sing in front of 20,000 people. Are you a musician?

some people need to learn things the hard way maybe that person could get hit by a car and then we could scold them if they express animosity towards the car or the driver

It's called CLASS Eric, and you either have it or a shitload of American cash. No, wait, that's not the saying.

Exactly, it was a dumb take. Descent is literally democracy. The people here need to hear more of it. Respect is earned not given.

Just wait

+1

Fuck him - take em out back & talk to him by hand

They have been talking down to us for decades. Just don’t need it.

Best response ever. And I’m a Torontonian. Loved my time as a grad student in Montreal.

I wouldn't boo. I'd sing "History is Made by Stupid People" by Canada's number one trio (Rush being number one). www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJsr...

Canada needs to crush USA tonight!

Keep booing Canada. We fucking deserve it.

Power to the people!

I'll be watching the game at home, by myself, and I'm still going to boo.

Booing empty words that don't match actions will always be 100% appropriate.

I totally agree with you. Here’s a new way of saying Maga Mexicans aren’t going anywhere.

The folks who died on both sides if the border in both WW's , the wars in SE Asia and the Middle East is why we should leave not be booing either anthem...the players did not promote tariffs.

Backs turned would be better.

EVERYONE should boo this Nazi dictatorship!

Here’s a pretty decent take on exactly this youtu.be/cl9VVe5gNoQ?...

Unfortunately it's not booing America, Canada has a platform to boo TRUMP who is ruining the WORLD, so yes we will continue booing until he IS REMOVED from office..that's all!!!

All of America holds responsibility by allowing and tolerating the mouth breathing gomer chuds with all their MAGA BS for years. They elected the village idiot to the highest office. We all bare this burden and we will all burn because of it. Boo away. We deserve it.

I want to go to a game just to Boo the US team and I’m American. And I can Boo a hell of a lot better than Canadians Im from NY I will show them how it’s done. 😎 BOO!!!

Hey I'm American and I'm booing also

We’re way past the apologetic humble polite phase. 🇨🇦💪🏼

Don't boo just sit. Then you get up and belt out "Oh Canada". Or in the reverse depending on which anthem is played first.

The NHL is packed with MAGA and MAPLE MAGA nutters.....boo away 🇨🇦.....boo the roof off.

Considering we are not the land of the free nor the home of the brave currently, you go right on and boo.

I'd like to enjoy my hockey sports product during the invasion without politics please!!!! Stop shelling me the Buds are playing!

Yeah; I totally get it! ❤️

I think all the fans should turn their backs during the singing of the US anthem.

Booing seems like a correct response

Don’t forget to add the oinks.

No. As an American I fully support booing the national anthem, the "president", and any American legislator. Don't boo the people, though. There are half of us who definitely don't want this, who knew better, who aren't trash and are working to end them

Hockey game in Arizona 6 days ago, the arena refused to play Canadian anthem,so parents sang. www.tiktok.com/discover/ari...

The commander in chief if the US military fired the first shot in this international war of words. Boos are merely return-fire by a plucky volunteer militia made up of patriotic sportsmen and women, farm hands, laborers, and more.

You lost?

Understand that it’s people booing the moronic US president and all the idiots who support his destructive policies. They aren’t booing the players. I hope the booing is especially loud tonight.

youtu.be/1GP6x-sbV4Q?...

Boo the fuck out of it.

Bravo

It's funny to me how some can put differences aside and choose to show respect for a nation as a whole while some cant. Every game I go to I stand and show my respect for your fellow Canadians during the anthem. Regardless of what you say, I'll continue to do so. You can boo all you want bud

And GO STARS

No but I don't know if I'll name them. I don't think they're that well known so if they're being good faith I don't want to be the person that starts a dogpile on them If they're being bad faith and just trying to get attention, I don't want to give them what they want.

No I actually haven't seen his take on the whole thing

nah Bruce is very pro booing

Keep booing! - Sincerely , An American Hockey fan

Canadians have every right to boo the US anthem. I'm an American and it's their right to boo. I would as well if I were Canadian.

what a fucknut

As an American, I'm fine with it. Our country sucks right now. I also didn't vote for FOTUS, so I don't have any hurt feelings, because idol worship of a flag or anthem is dumb.

not gonna lie almost forgot that we got the whole tariff thing goin on, i get why we got booed now

It is every fan's right to boo. You bought your ticket, you can register your pleasure or displeasure. It is your right.

Boo!

Initially I was, turn your back. After a moment: let the US know we are pissed. This isn't about the players. We obviously are making a clear and loud statement

Let em boo! We deserve it, that can't have a tarrif put on that!

I'm American. You have my personal permission to boo the shit out of us at any and every opportunity.

Yes.

I'm 'merican, and I wholeheartedly agree with the booing. I'm ashamed. people who don't research, get conned by a con man, or are racist can't complain. We r acting like bullies...Thought we were better than that. Guess we not.

Agreed, Boo the USA we deserve it !

Thank you 🙏🏽 sir

Most Americans support the booing.

There will be nothing to cheer about America until it gets rid of its Nazis.

I once saw a video of Canadians singing the American anthem out of respect when the singer’s mike went dead. They even knew the words (more than most of us do). So Boo away, our Felon deserves it!

Fuck that MAGA bitch

I'd boo the U.S. anthem, too... and I live here. 🥲
