Booing the National Anthem
Tweet Posted by Mother Pucker on April 21st, 2009Dear Montreal Canadiens fans,
You are formally being chastised by the hockey world for your ignorant and arrogant ways, most recently for booing the Star Spangled Banner last night when the Boston Bruins came to town.
Yes, you are getting your ass kicked by the Bruins, yes you may think that you need to do whatever it takes, but for eff’s sake make a sign or something to slam your most hated player on the opposing team, DON’T BOO DURING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM!
Yeah, the Boston Bruins are located in the USA, but ever look at that roster? I just did a quick count, and there are five American, fifteen Canadian, and four European born players. Take a look at the Habs’ roster and you have four American born players, including Higgins, Bouillon, Komisarek, and Schneider. Think any of them appreciated it when their hometown fans booed their national anthem?
I could go on about this forever, but instead I’ll just cut it short and let everyone else that has an opinion sound off in the comments.
In closing, all I want to say to the people of Montreal and the Canadiens fans who booed the American anthem last night, is grow up and show some class. You’re not only embarrassing yourself, but the rest of Canada.
Sincerely,
Mother Pucker
Agreed! It’s heartbreaking to me when I hear the Canadian anthem booed, why would it seem right to be disrespectful to AN ENTIRE country during a sporting event that obviously doesn’t take citizenship into consideration on their roster…
It’s so sad that a small minority of ignorant fools are making an entire country look bad… I was FUMING. It was worse than the Hatton/Mayweather fight last year.
What is wrong with you ignorant fools? Your team sucks deal with it. America would go to battle for you any day of the week. Maybe the problem is the Quebecois not the Canadians.
Don’t ever seperate from Canada or the only ones to back you will be the French. And we all no what kind of pussies they are.
What about the Blues fan’s booing the Canadian national anthem in game 3 versus the Canucks? Why didn’t you write an article about that?
I didn’t hear about it!
Yea I definitely heard the booing during game 3, and the Blues have something like 14 or 15 Canadian boys compared to eight Americans on their team, I think. But you can easily shuffle a few team names in and out of this article and it will still ring true. It happens way more than it should.
the canadians are a bunch off little girls
Obviously Canadians are not students of history. If they were they would realize that their mother country, France, of which they are so proud, would be speaking German today as well as all canadians! Americans and the “Star Spangled Banner” should be held in the highest esteem by you!
Tom,
You’re not saying World War II was only won because of the efforts of the United States are you? If so, you’re an idiot and you need to brush up on your history yourself.
The guys who boo the Star Spangled Banner are the same ones who want to seperate from Canada. They’d probably boo the Canadian National Anthem if they had one of their own.
