Fans boo Canadian anthem at Chicago Cubs game...an eye for an eye?

[SickBeast]

I guess you could say that the fans in Montreal started it.

It's all sort of childish, isn't it? The Canucks may not have backed us, but I don't recall them hindering us like the Frogs and others.

Besides, I like Canadians. So there.

This isn't anything new... it was happening during the Afghan situation.

Who knows who started it.. its been happening for years and years.

Both sides acting foolish on this issue.

Well, to be perfectly clear it all began at a Detroit Pistons game. This will not come as a surprise to anyone who's been to Detroit.

I think we should take the moral high road and not insult other countries that disagree with us.

They boo ours, we boo theirs, woo woo, we still live in america and they are still stuck up there...

Nobody f*cks with Don Cherry. :evil:

 

[Feldenak]

Both acts are equally boorish.

 

[freakflag]

BOOOOOO!!! BOOOOOOOO!!!

Now give me Molson XXX :beer: or I shall Boooo you all again!

Can someone link to this story for me? I haven't heard about it anywhere else.

Those who booed the Canadian anthem are just as foolish as those who booed the American anthem. So I guess all we've learned from this exchange is that there are retards on both sides of the border.

I wouldn't worry about this particular case too much anyway. It's common knowledge that the Cub fan base is largely composed of idiots who are usually already drunk by the time they reach the ballpark.

I wouldnt exactly call it stuck up here considering most people would rather live here considering we do have a higher quality of life.

 

[Laz]

Canadians view this as a compliment, someone has actually noticed or at least acknowledged us! We Canadians have an inferiority complex.

Oh, I KNOW you didn't just mock the D.

Detroit, where the weak are killed and eaten. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Yes, I did. They should just burn it down for the insurance money and start over.

Especially when Toronto wins the series.

 

[HOWITIS]

how can someone boo a country who's national emblem is a leaf? or who's country is dominated by frenchies. no need to kick'em while their down.

Did the staff at the Chicago game at least raise the Canadian flag right side up this time? That inverted Canadian flag at a world sieries game several years ago was a bigger affront, IMO.
