I feel a little bad for the singers, but on the other hand, why anyone would take on that gig right now is a mystery. Let them play the music if it’s contractually required (although they really shouldn’t, regardless) but please, no singing.
It's not just Canadians who hate that song and what it stands for. A reworked English drinking song with militaristic war-worshipping lyrics has never appealed to me. My national anthem is "America the Beautiful".
With baseball's spring training right around the corner, I'd love to see folks either not stand for the anthem or stand up and turn their back to the flag. Yeah, the Rabid Right will want to start shit, but most stadiums should have rules in place that will throw the CHUDs out, not the protesters.
Resistor singers please change the last line when singing the anthem to Land of the Greed and Home of the Slave. We need stadiums singing that in unison at every event to send a message..
I hope that every singer is quietly briefed before the performance. It would be traumatizing if they thought THEY were the targets of the booing. It definitely isn't.
I am 66 years old and have attended close to 1000 sporting events, including the NHL. People don’t boo national anthems. You have to be pretty fucking evil if Canadians are booing your national anthem! We are now definitively the most evil nation on the planet.
Who could blame them? Our country kinda sucks as long as FOTUS and Musky are around and the world is seeing it too. We're a toxic nation and should be avoided until we get our shit straightened out.
Even the most polite people in the world have their limits. A convicted criminal leader of a neighbouring country, an ally trying to undermine & destroy your very stable country is it. We Aussies are on your side Canada.
The actions I’m taking as a citizen are: to donate to Democrats running for open seats in the House in special elections in April; if we can flip the House then Congress can fight back.Calling our Representatives, boycotting, and protesting. We need Congress and Courts to do the lions share.
It’s cute and rather depressing that you think that you’ll have elections and that your reps will do anything. You guys don’t read much history do you? Read about the Weimar Republic, it might be informative
Many of us saw the Project2025 playbook and predicted the sequence. Many of us tried to tell our conservative friends to educate themselves. That often went nowhere. Now it’s happening because too many bought his lies. We have a dismantling in progress and it’s terrifying. Germany all over again.
Rolling over is what they want us to do. Im not going to do that. If there are actions I can take I’ll take them. Lumping Americans into a single divisive basket called “you guys” is an example of the very problem we’re fighting against here. I didn’t vote for this mad man.
Do something before the convict starts drafting you to shoot Canadians. If the convict invades Greenland then Canada will be at war with the US to defend our ally. He is on a path to a war with Europe. If you don't want that than it's time to do something to stop him.
We get it and are appreciative that your nation and citizens have the courage to do what half of our citizens, most of our Congress, and our general business community (minus a few standouts) can't or won't do.
It's cringey what the American flag has been violated by McDumpy. I love my country! I don't have to like the Bafoon who is trying to run it like his bankrupted businesses.
And who's gonna want to stand out there and sing our anthem at these events? Carrie Underwood? Snoop? Jewel? The Village People?
One of you wanna do it?
Best to just set a speaker on a card table and play a canned rendition.
I wish they would just play it on a recording rather than force someone to sing it and get booed, maybe they can show Rosanne singing it with a picture if Trump and boo the fuck out of that, 2 for 1.
it's probably the ONLY time i would ever support this as an american. and to our friends in 🇨🇦, we really are so sorry for this...just know we aren't all wired the same as 🍊 and his minions. we will fight, so please hang in there and know you can still trust a few of us.
I’d be willing to bet it’s not just Canadians! I’m sure there are some Americans that are brewing as well! And rightly so! And this has nothing to do with all the wonderful people who serve!
Awww c’mon Canada, we can’t actually boo while she’s singing.
That’s rude.
Wait until the end.
*No one is booing democratic Americans - or the singer - just the asshats currently in government*
I’m American & if someone sang that anthem at n front of me I would absolutely boo it— I’ll sing again when we have a collective leader actually resisting this regime
To american allies, when at a hockey or basketball game in usa and anthems being played show your support of Canada. Stand and sing Canadian anthem cheering at end, then sit down ignoring USA anthem, no cheering. 🍁 Maple Leaf Forever 🍁
THe grammy awards tonight.....they raised over 7 million through people watching, for the fire victims in LA. Just people watching the show. Doesn't even count the other shows they've had around LA and tributes by singers....7 million dollars in a few hours!
Lol rebuild all the homes and build all the stadiums/arenas for the Olympics? It takes years to rebuild homes, contractors, people (they are deporting the workers) They need to rebuild and think of the people before they think of the Olympics.
The stadiums needed for the Olympics are still there. The average income for someone who lived in the palisades and wasn't a celebrity was about $200,000 dollars a year. Higher end, was close to $400, 000. Still 3 years till the olympics. LA will survive.
It’s insensitive to the people who lost everything. I hope LA passes especially with the frurer in chief, why would the world and LA celebrate us now? We are in a fascist coup. Nobody will go
We can throw our national anthem in the shitter where it belongs; we are not free and we are not brave. How GD embarrassing that we’re even playing it anymore.

She's fine 😀
It's a valid response, I mean, the land of the free? Home of the brave?
Who are we trying to kid?
GOOD FOR THE CANADIANS🇨🇦
Sorry CA but for now you’re still part of the USA.
I have never understood why they play the USA national anthem (as well as the Canadian anthem) before NHL games.

Our allies are unhappy and anxious while our enemies are rejoicing!
trump is isolating America like an abuser.
Thank you.
Have you considered playing it on bagpipes?
You're good.

You may not be a hockey fan, but the atmosphere could be electric at the Bell Centre in Montreal on this occasion (more than 21,000 fans).

Boo away; the louder, the better.
Trump is violating his own negotiated trade agreement with Canada and Mexico!
Which means a Trump deal is worth as much as a Trump U diploma.
The American People can't hide behind the excuse of we didn't know he was gonna do this before they re-elected the deva fool.
👎🇺🇸👎🇺🇸👎🇺🇸👎
That’s rude.
