Detroit Boo's Anthem

Clutz · 04-24-2002, 01:53 PM

At a recent Detroit Pistons basketball game the Piston fans booed the Canadian national anthem. It happened again in NY when the Maple Leafs played last night.

Why this is happening i don't know... but i'm pissed!

Us Canadians jump through hoops to please our American brothers and what's the thanks we get?... nothing! Particularly when you consider the 4 CANADIAN soldiers who died in Afghanistan fighting for America (as global an issue as terrorism is, lets not kid ourselves its America that is most at risk- excluding of course Israel)

Anyway, I know the 20,000 or so fans at 2 sporting events don't speak for all Americans, but an apology from a mayor/other politician would seem to be in order.

P.S. - Salt Lake Double Gold. Go Canada Go.
