Canadians boo Americas national anthem
 

At a hockey game last nite in Montreal when the US anthem was played the "fans" boo'd it. WTF?????????? Even if you dont agree with whats going on why boo our national anthem? If my kid EVER boo'd canada anthem Id smack the shit out of them. You MUST respect the song (either countries)and show respect by removing your hat (if you wear one)

That's not cool.

Friggin' Habs fans...BOOOO!!

I understand why this would upset you so much (although I can't relate to it, we don't take our national anthem here quite as seriously as you do there, but I understand all the same) but this I seriously hope isn't the case...

Not telling you how to raise your children but I certainly hope that statement was figurative.

Nothing that a child can do is so bad that you have to "smack the shit out of them".

At least in my world it isn't.

Classy.

it is a phrase I would never "smack the shit out of them"

Ok, I just worried for a bit there. Sorry that I insinuated that you might have meant it.

hake:

Screw iraq, lets bomb Canada

You guys have this massive irrational hatred of eachother (generally speaking).

Do Americans hate Canadians more than the French, or something?

That used to be me saying that...

Anywho. I say forget Iraq, let's go after France!

No, mostly dipshits like pyro and superman bring down the entire country of largely decent people, but we have our share of pyros here too. By US standards, canada is very liberal, but if you look at the demographics, most of canada is an urban population, which tends to be more liberal.

I statement I heard not too long ago that I think might apply here - The problem with most urban populations is that they have been off the farm too long. They tend to forget that the world is not the clean, neatly packaged things they buy on the grocery shelf. To get there, forests had to be cleared, wild animals displaced, nussisane animals killed, crops planted and worked, domestic animals bred, cared for and eventually slaughtered and butchered. Its not a live and let live world. man is a predator, the most sucessful one at that. And we are sucessful because we can make the choices needed to survive, not just sit and say its not my place to do anything. But I ramble.....just my 2 cents.

Uhh who the fuck cares if a national anthem is booed? Any time ireland play england in a soccer match in england the english fans boo the shit outta our national anthem. Just goes to show the majority of their soccer fans are mindless dribbling morons. We never do that to their anthem in lansdowne road because our supporters are respectful.

America and canada seem to have some big rivalry going on much like ireland and england hence the reason the anthem is booed, just some assholes that have to ruin it for the rest in attendance.

Hehe, when was the last time Ireland played a match in England?

It's been a while since I attended an England game where we booed the opposition's anthem, but that's my experience of the matter.

It's sad that we have a lot of mindless thugs in our supporting contingient when we travel but then almost every one of those are not really football supporters, they are just thugs who use football as carriage for their violence.

But you're right... Who cares if someone boos an anthem...?

Americans and Canadians obviously :)

The last time they played was lansdowne road a few years ago, thats when some of the morons started throwing chairs onto the pitch and caused a riot cause ireland went 2-0 up inside 15 minutes or so. Still can't believe that hake:

hey! wait just a min! you csaid montreal! thats in quebec! thats not canada! hake: next time you will know to say quebecers, not canadians. BTW id like to point out that in the play offs last year when the leafs were playing against ny the americans would boo our anthum so loudly you coulnt even hear the anthem over the tv. all you could hear was booing. hake: Why cant we all just get along?

Yeh, I remember that abandoned friendly as well. Those who instigated that mindless bullshit were not football fans though. They just saw it as an oportunity to cause havoc. It's still mindless bullshit but it's not how England football fans generally behave.

The last time Ireland played in England would have been Euro 2000, I'd have thought and they wouldn't have been booed then.

Hehe, at the moment England fans (the real ones) are more likely to boo our own anthem. We're very self critical, especially when it comes to sport.

The general view that the world hold of English people (not British) is that we're very aloof and very full of ourselves, but that is no more the case than any other nation and we are far more self-deprecating than most other nations.

Put it this way... we celebrated St Patrick's day with the usual gusto last week but when it comes to St George's day we'll hardly lift a pint glass.

Odd, really.

Hey, the Habs rock! That doesn't make the fans' action justified though.

time for a flame war

White rabbit goes down on baby rhino's.

baby rhinos cant say no

...and you know that more than anybody.

When Toronto came to Detroit far a basketball game and the Detroit "fans" boo'd the Canadian I was sooooo shocked! It was a very wrong thing to do and a formal apoligy was given by the Mayor of Detroit, do you think the same will happen here. While we (U.S.A. and Canada) are very different in our views and ways we still have to stick together. Most people I know dont hate canadians at all its just some decisions the govt makes and Im sure its the same in reverse. This kinda stuff has no place though

that waas pretty sad, considering we take care of a lot of canadian garbage

I dunno what the big issue, is, they booed an anthem whoop dee doo get over it. eek:

Yeah, it's not like we're making nuclear weapons behind your back, oh wait....

"I leave symbols to the symbol-minded." ~GC

biggrin:

Its like when Billy Connolly was talking about people who Boo football teams.

saying as if we are expected to turn around to the booers and say "you know what, youre right. i think ill support your team".

Balmy Army = Best thing to come out of England in the last century!

I can see bush making a public address on this.


"My fellow americans, today, a day which will live in infamy canadians booed our national anthem in a showing of cowardess. This demands nothing less than a full retaliatory nuclear strike and the invasion of canada. We have the backing of the united kingdopm as tony blairs tongue is firmly attached to my asshole. We shall see that the evil of the canadian people and this outrage shall not go unpunished."


Something i can see that fucknut saying anyway oOo:

......OMFG...................







........ROFLMFAO!!!!! Bahahaah!!!!!! ihihihihihI!!!!!!! Kekekekeek!!!!!!!!!

Basketball? Where if you touch somebody on the elbow they'll be gone for weeks on the injured list, or maybe baseball, which has to be voted, one of the most boring sports of all time.
