Another bit of pre-hockey anthem booing, this time of the American national anthem by fans before a game in Montreal. The article says the NHL are considering not playing the national anthem before games now to avoid people's feelings getting hurt. I think that's a good idea, not so much because of that, but rackin frackin[tm], it's a sports games between two teams, yes there's some frieendly international rivalry, but when you get down to it, it's a team vs team thing, and I think playing national anthems before hockey games is innappropriate.

And hey, it was booed in Montreal.. I mean... dude.. the canadian anthem gets booed in that city a lot too.. they don't discriminate ;>

FUCKIN FRENCHIES! Hehehehe!

I totally agree with you about the anthem thing... I think it is retarded, especially in hockey because just because the team is from Canada or the US, half the players are from Russia, Finland, Sweden, etc, etc... It's kinda not cool for those players...

I do think booing a national anthem is pretty fucking low, though... But yeah, that's what our President has done to Americans and foriegn relations. People hate us all, despite the fact that we didn't elect that warmongering dipshit.
